Denver's B-Cycle [2] bike-sharing program appears to be doing great, despite GOP gubernatorial hopeful Dan Maes' view that it is part of some kind of international plot [3] to destroy "personal freedoms" and United States sovereignty.

Plans are moving forward to add several more bike stations downtown in coming weeks, reports The Denver Post [4]. There will be 50 stations by fall, says to Brent Tongco, communications director of the program, who adds that right now, the focus is in central Denver, but B-Cycle could eventually move to surrounding suburbs.

Boulder is also looking into the B-Cycle idea, with the city and nonprofit group Boulder Bike Sharing close to finalizing the details of a wide-scale program there, writes the Daily Camera [5].

And Fort Collins' bike-sharing program, the two-year-old FC Bike Library [6], is run by the nonprofit Bike Fort Collins, which was the recipient of funds raised this weekend during New Belgium Brewing's Tour de Fat, notes the Coloradoan [7] (via GoFoCo.net, which also features a slideshow [8] of the occasion). The Tour's next stop is Denver's City Park this Saturday [9].
