DnvrFox's map is good but the DBTC Metro Bicycle Map is far more comprehensive, if you don't already have it. And it's portable
In answer to fetad question, Colorado law allows bicycles to be banned from roads only if there is an alternative route within 400 (and some change) feet. Since Speer has a bike lane down in the creek bed, it meets those requirements. You are also only allowed to ride the shoulder of interstate highways if no alternative is available. You can ride I-70, for example, from Genesee to Evergreen but you can't ride it from Evergreen to Bakersville. There is an alternative route for that part of the highway. You can also ride it from Bakersville to Loveland Pass but not through the tunnel. This is a pretty common practice in the West. Out on the plains there often isn't any alternative route for miles and miles.
US6 is kind of funny, in that there isn't an alternative route but bikes can't use it anyway. There's probably a provision in the law for that particular ban. As far as I know, there aren't any other bicycle bans on Colorado roads like US6...not that people don't keep trying
