    Oh no, I’m slightly inconvenienced bc I don’t know how to share the road with a bike 😩

    What a piece of shit.

    So I immediately submitted a Freedom of Information Act Request for Ald. Hopkins' letter and associated emails. CDOT fulfilled my request in an unusually swift six days.

    LOL CDOT wanted this guy exposed.

    Funny how this guy tries to present as pro-bike: https://www.aldermanhopkins.com/bike-the-ward

    I assume there's some special interest who wants these lanes gone.
