I ride from 120th and colorado to orchard and i-25

Where abouts do you ride?

Zoiks...long ride. I start on 126th just west of Federal Pkwy/Zuni and end up downtown. I've been riding to the Niver Creek trail that starts in Thornton just west of I-25, then connecting with the South Platte trail for the rest of the way. Not a bad ride at all.

Mine is streetside as well. I definitely notice I get more passing room when I have my stuffed big ol' bug hanging off the side opposed to just my trunk bag on top of my rack. I'm sure streetside makes the people see less room and makes them want to scoot over more for us.
