Gambling town issuing traffic tickets to bicyclists

From Channel 7 News/Denver
BLACK HAWK - Unless you're in for a gamble, forget riding your bike in Black Hawk. If you're caught cycling on certain streets
you will be ticketed. Jamie Webb and her friends found out the
hard way on Saturday."We were doing a monster ride," said Webb as
she was working out at the gym on Monday talking about her bike ride.
"We got pulled over and got tickets for $68," said Webb. "I thought maybe we were speeding."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

manager. "We are trying to promote safety."
