Alleged hit-and-run driver may not face felony Victim, attorneys furious with misdemeanor deal Randy Wyrick rwyrick@vaildaily.com Vail, CO Colorado EAGLE, Colorado — A financial manager for wealthy clients will not face felony charges for a hit-and-run because it could jeopardize his job, prosecutors said Thursday. Martin Joel Erzinger, 52, faces two misdemeanor traffic charges stemming from a July 3 incident when he allegedly hit bicyclist Dr. Steven Milo from behind then sped away, according to court documents. Milo and his attorney, Harold Haddon, are livid about the prosecution's decision to drop the felony charge. They filed their objection Wednesday afternoon, the day after prosecutors notified Haddon's office by fax of their decision. Haddon and Milo say this is a victim's rights case, that Erzinger's alleged actions constituted a felony, and that one day is not enough notice. “The proposed disposition is not appropriate given the shocking nature of of

How the governor and a cycling legend helped bring back a cycling classic Gene Davis, DDN Staff Writer Thursday, November 4, 2010 When the Coors International Bicycle Classic blew through Boulder in 1980, one law school student at the University of Colorado was intrigued enough to stand on the racecourse and cheer on the competitors. The ambitious student was impressed by the fourth largest race in the world. But he didn’t think about the Coors Classic again until he started seriously bicycling six years ago, and by that time the race had been defunct for more than 15 years. And while most cyclists would acknowledge that it’s silly for Colorado not to have a major staged bicycle race, this law school graduate and cycling advocate had the power to do something. After all, being Gov.

With that transfer of power, Republicans would also assume leadership of the all-important House Committees that set the rules of the game for everything from tax policy (Bike Commuter Benefit for instance) to infrastructure spending priorities. At the center of what's at stake for bicycling and active transportation are three men: John Boehner, Jim Oberstar, and Peter DeFazio. read more...

LONG BEACH — Critical Mass or critical mess? That depends on which side of the story you hear. About 100 bicyclists from "Critical Mass," a monthly bicycle ride to celebrate cycling and to assert cyclists' right to the road, caused a bit of a mess as they rode through the streets of Long Beach Friday night, according to police reports. Long Beach members of the group met at Cal State Long Beach's Pyramid between 5:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. for a bike ride that turned out to be shorter than planned when they were stopped by police and cited. Several bikes confiscated for city violations. read more...
