This map is about the most comprehensive map of routes I‘ve found.  Too comprehensive!  It shows bike lanes on streets where the shoulder is not even the width of a white line!  Their disclaimer should be the most predominate item on the front.  They show a lane going along Wadsworth Blvd (that’s the old Wadsworth) from 92^nd up to the Broomfield Park-n-Ride on 36.  The traffic runs at 45-55 mph (45 mph zone); the white line for the shoulder hits dirt because the road isn’t wide enough to fit the line; and you have to ride under a blind, narrow bridge with 90 degree turns at both sides!  I’m not much of a wimp, but I was scared!

They also show lanes on highway 128.  A few riders use it but nothing resembling a bike lane exists and traffic is 55-70 mph.  Marshall Road shows a path – not!  At least traffic slows to 45-55 and enough people ride it that cars sort of expect bikers.

I haven’t found any significant trails up north here that aren’t listed on the map, and the map has helped me locate some new ones.  Don’t trust their routes along roads though.  If you don’t want to get stuck in a place no biker should be in, then drive the route first and take a look at it.  Don’t trust this map!!
