State Sen. Greg Brophy, R-Wray, is crafting a bill that would forgive landowners' financial liability if they were to allow cyclists to use part of their property as a race route.
The way Brophy, an avid cyclist, sees it, the more bike-friendly Colorado becomes, the more tourism dollars could flow into the financially strapped state.
This issue rose to the forefront when state Sen. Chris Romer organized the Bailey Hundo, a 100-mile race.
I like what I have read about this bill. If you could reduce property liability, I am sure landowners would be much more willing to allow bikers and other recreational users use their property.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
not sure i agree with it. but i would have to read the bill to know. too many pitfalls when there is a release of liability.
i am more inclined to want to have a bill to ask the bicylcists to contribute more to the maintenance of the exisiting roads that they are using.
