How We Work

Data-Informed, Purpose-Driven

At Bicycle Colorado, we harness the power of data to advocate for safer streets, smarter policy, and expanded access to biking across our state. We don’t rely on guesswork—we use proven solutions, real data, and community insight to solve real problems and drive change.

Why Data Matters

From crash reports to bike counts, data helps us understand the challenges, identify solutions, and make the case for action. It gives us the evidence to tell a fuller story, one that decision-makers can’t ignore.

Data allows us to:

  • Pinpoint dangerous streets and intersections
  • Shine a light on underserved communities
  • Track bike infrastructure improvements and their impact
  • Advocate for evidence-based policies

Data + Experience + Local Knowledge = Effective Solutions

Numbers alone don’t create change—people do. That’s why we combine data with what we see and hear on the ground. We bring together public data, community feedback, and best practices from across the country to craft solutions that work for Colorado. And we don’t do it alone—we partner with agencies, local advocates, and national experts to turn information into action.

What’s Next? A Smarter, Safer Colorado

As demand for bike-friendly communities grows, we’re expanding our data tools, investing in better analysis, and building deeper partnerships. Why? Because data is the backbone of change. It helps us show what’s needed and what’s possible, and ensures progress benefits everyone who rides a bike.
