Police in Mt. Crested Butte have begun enforcing the letter of the traffic laws as they apply to bicycles, to the regret of one Justin Blakelee. He was given a $40 ticket for going 10 miles over the 30 mph limit.
“There’s no way I even figured I would be going 10 over,” he told the Crested Butte News. “For crying out loud, it’s a mountain bike.”
The newspaper talked with one local mountain cyclist, Kay Peterson, who is OK with police enforcing the law — as long as they give their attention to cars, as well.
