I wasn't trying to imply that. I had no particular problem on a bike there. I meant it's a very automobile oriented state and the sprawl, traffic density, tension and competition is very high. Colorado freeways are the fastest and most congested I've ever been on. It doesn't seem like the masses there will embrace bike commuting anytime soon. The good news is if you live in central Denver you can ignore the sprawl and traffic congestion and biking is pretty nice. The bus system used to be pretty good, too.
