Colorado will allow you to ride in the right side of the interstate highways, but NE will not. Good luck to you!!! In fact Colorado has the Olympic training team in Denver and all kinds of bike trails there. If a motorist hits a bike, there I am told, they are in BIG trouble.
Yes, and Independence Pass is a kick. It is so narrow that the center line is only about two inces wide and there is NO leeway anwhere over the pass. Your thrill is to meet a herd of bikers ahead of you going up, or down. The only thing worse is to meet up with a huge RV that had no idea what they were facing when they started up, be it from East, or West.
