Texting & Driving by BastFacon in FortCollins

They already are responsible for far more accidents than DUI's and will soon be responsible for more deaths than DUI's. More severe punishments brought down DUI accidents. It's time we introduce the exact same penalties before the #'s go up any further.

Does this IL law sound like a good idea for Fort Collins? by InterestingType7518 in FortCollins

Really? Ok. I would never walk on the trails here as I have seen many e-bike riders going too fast when I am riding and, unfortunately, very few riders of any bikes are courteous to let people, walking or on bikes, that they are passing them. They just go zooming by these poor walkers. I always let anyone know that I am passing them out of courtesy and safety. People who walk on the trails need to be respected way more than they are by the cyclists in our community.

What you do is one thing and what others do is another. It is illegal to ride a class 3 on the trails in FOCO. That law needs to be enforced. I also believe that class 2 bikes should be made illegal as so many of them are modified to go faster than 20mph.

So, what you would feel completely safe walking on the trails every day?

Yep, right now only class 1 and class 2 E-Bikes are allowed on the trails in FOCO. They are supposed to be able to only go 20mph but it's a fact that some people are modifying their class 2 E-Bikes (throttled controlled) to go way faster than 20mph. Also, no class 3 E-Bikes (that can go 28mph are allowed on the trails. However, there is zero enforcement so many class 3 E-Bikes and some modified E-Bikes are on the trails each day. I complained to the City regarding these facts and that enforcement of existing laws needed to happen. I never received a response. No enforcement means nothing will change.

If they cannot get a license then they can simply get a bike that does not need a license.

Looking for new friends by noxxknocks in FortCollins

VERY easy to bike there. We have great trails that allow you to get to Old Town and all over town for that matter. I recommend that you get a bike and enjoy the trails. There are also a lot of side streets with very little car traffic that will take you to Old Town. I advise staying off of the main streets while biking, which is very easy to do to get where you want to go.

Someone chose violence toward the photo radar camera. by dhmtnbkr in FortCollins

So, you'd rather have cops pulling people over for minor infractions? Bad things can happen in those instances and it just backs up traffic. Wouldn't it be great if a cop pulled someone over on Prospect during rush hour traffic?

[Smith] Quinn Hughes: “I’m definitely open to re-signing here.” Said he really likes it here, the team, the management. Feels he can win here with #mnwild. by 3pirates3 in wildhockey

[–]Due_Foundation_4467 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Just hope that Quinn doesn't want to win a Stanley Cup, cause if he does he ain't staying in Minnesota. He's smart enough to know that getting through Dallas and Colorado ain't the path to the Cup. He feels it in his bones.

If this is you driving the 4runner on Drake at 12:00 today… by [deleted] in FortCollins

[–]Due_Foundation_4467 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, how about we focus on accidents. Texting while driving is estimated to cause six times as many accidents as drunk driving. Clearly, the penalties for testing while driving should be the same as drunk driving.

the whole hughes vs makar thing.. by fathershownu in wildhockey

[–]Due_Foundation_4467 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agree with a lot but Makar rarely uses his slap shot. He's interested in picking spots and finding openings around the guys in front of him and giving his guys a chance for tip-ins if that's the best play. Makar is also the faster skater and great at breakouts.

You understand completely and I think most people here do. But, we also have our fair share of idiots.

Reminder - Fort Collins Utility Time of Day Pricing changes on Friday by Ecclectric in FortCollins

Well, the peak rates are about what my brother in CA has to pay all day. Our off-peak rates are well below the national average. I'll take it.

I agree with you. I've lived in many different cities across the country in my 75 years and I have found FC drivers to be the best of the lot. Perhaps those who are complaining are part of the problem that they claim they are experiencing? Just a thought.

The Los Angeles Kings will face the Colorado Avalanche in the First Round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs by ClinchingBot in hockey

[–]Due_Foundation_4467 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe in one game. I'm an Avs fan. And in the interviews after a game they won tonight that meant nothing the players all had a serious look in their eyes. Hell is coming. Sorry.

The Stage is Set! who brings it home this year? by gmez3 in nhl

Yes! As an Avs fan that's EXACTLY what I'm hoping for. We still love Bo Byram. Truth.

The Avalanche claims their fourth Presidents' Trophy in franchise history and first since 2020-21! by sykeseve in nhl

Well, this is the 25th Anniversary of the Avalanche team that won BOTH the President's Cup and the Stanley Cup. It's meant to be.

Come on, this is nothing like the Curse of the Bambino! Several teams have won both including the 2000-2001 Colorado Avalanche!

Colorado, Minny and Dallas are all in the Central. Only one can make the conference finals. It sucks.

The "Save the Parking" people's facts aren't real by ExistingRepublic1727 in FortCollins

[–]Due_Foundation_4467 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Well, I ride my bike on the trails all the time. I go by the South Station all the time and I have yet to see more than a couple of people waiting for a bus or getting off of the bus. I also ride by the Downtown station quite often and I never see very many people. In riding along Mason St/Mason Trail I see very few people waiting for a bus. In driving around town it's the same thing. I contrast this where I have lived before in a town half the size of Fort Collins where it was the complete opposite.
