One of the best ways to prevent your bike from being stolen is the use of a quality u-lock. If you are currently using a cable lock, your bike is not secure! Stop by either of the ��ƷSM��ӰƬ bike stations to swap your cable lock for a u-lock, free of charge. And read the safety article further below to learn more useful tips.

Trivia

July 2021

Last month’s trivia answer: If you encounter a mountain lion while biking/hiking, Colorado Parks and Wildlife provides the following recommendations:

Do not turn your back to the lion as this can trigger their hunting instincts.
Stay calm and move slowly, but make sure to face the lion and stand upright.
Do not approach the lion. Most mountain lions will try to avoid a confrontation.
Stop or back away slowly (do not turn your back to the lion), if possible.
Appear as large as possible. If you are traveling with children, make sure to bring them close.
If the lion attacks, fight back. This is not the ideal situation, of course, but if worse comes to worst, use all available resources to fend off the lion.
Travel in groups and make noise to prevent encounters w/ mountain lions.
