I didn't encounter many people serious about utility cycling or bike commuting in either Denver or Boulder, taken as a fraction of the overall population. Sorry, but I gotta be brutally honest.

nope... no utility cycles here in Denver:


We certainly wouldn't be caught out in less than perfect weather:





We'd NEVER think of bike commuting in the winter:


And certainly not ever run errands on a bike:


And yes... there are a LOT more bike commuters this spring than last spring. And the majority of the new commuters that I've talked to have told me that they started because of gas prices.
