The Colorado Health Foundation has funded a $75,000 initiative of Trails and Open Space and Kids on Bikes to to activate the Legacy Loop as a vibrant cultural destination that families can explore from the seat of a bike.
This one-year grant project will identify neighborhood bicycling activation points and get neighbors talking about meaningful places in their areas that they can explore together, with a long-term goal to make Colorado Springs a more vibrant place for bicycling.
Local bicycle advocate Allen Beauchamp has been hired as the Project Manager for the Bike Colorado Springs initiative. He is looking forward to sharing “the transformation that can happen when we create the opportunity through infrastructure or encouragement, where folks can experience the beauty of this community we all call home from the seat of a bike, at a very human speed…We are going to build the cycling friendly city that we all want to live and thrive in. And it’s going to take the work of many.”
 
Bike Colorado Springs is a Program of the Trails and Open Space Coalition.
