Anybody know what the bicycle law is in Colorado. I had a guy run into the front of my jeep today. I was pulling out of checkers auto parts store heading south to Ouray and he was heading north to Grand Junction . I was doing at the most 3mph and this guy tries to swerve around the front of my jeep on his bicycle at the last second before i pull out. His tire gets stuck in between my tire and bumper ( think ) and he crashed to the ground. Lucky he only suffered from a minor ankle injury and police told me nothing was broken. I was issued a citation. I know i looked that direction but didnt see him. HE was wearing a black puffy coat and black jeans riding a black bicycle if any of that helps. Thought bicyclist had to follow same traffic laws as autos. What a horrible and to a rainy day

he was riding north on a south bound sidewalk. No bike lane no stop sign. I was at a full stop prior to him hitting me. I had started to let off the clutch to pull out than i saw a flash out of the corner off my eye than i stopped, never felt the jeep move or heard a noise. I guess he thought i stopped to let him go then he tried to go around the front my jeep.

Too bad I've got to get the kids to bed and then motivate myself to work a couple hours
