    The city of Black Hawk, CO (a gambling destination town) has closed all its local roads to bicycle travel. They are ticketing cyclists $68 if caught riding in the city. It's possible to get through by dismounting and walking your bike 1/4 mile.

    Why would anyone want to cycle a bike there? Backwater, USA!

    Webb and her friends weren't and the four have a photo of them standing in front of a police car all holding tickets. The group was ticketed for riding bicycles on a certain street in Black Hawk. As of Jan. 24, riding on many streets within the city is illegal.
    "If you go down Main Street there is not much room for a bicyclist, a bus or a car, a truck," said Mike Copp, Black Hawk city manager. "We are trying to promote safety."

    It makes sense though. Crap little town famous only for it's gambling, bikes were never going to be the chosen mode of transport.
