Yes, I purposely pick nits.

While technically correct, your post gives the impression that you can ride on any multilane highway in Colorado. Since most people...myself included...don't distinguish properly between freeways and multilane highways, the conclusion one could reach is that you can ride any expressway or freeway. This isn't the case. While you can ride some freeways in Colorado and the west you can't ride all of them...it depends on the availability of adjacent routes.

I don't pick nits...too much

...but I prefer clarity
