BOZEMAN \u2014 Although there’s over 80 miles<\/a> of in-town trails and paved pathways for bikers and walkers here in Bozeman, how do cyclists feel about commuting within the city? <\/p>\n

“I think road cycling here is interesting,” said Bangtail Bicycle employee, Holly Wurtz. “I do think it’s quite dangerous.” <\/p>\n

Wurtz is originally from Durango, Colorado, and has been working at Bangtail here in Bozeman for the past four years. <\/p>\n

“Where I’m from, the trails are super accessible,” she said. “There aren’t many great roads here where there’s a shoulder.” <\/p>\n

WATCH: A Bozeman cyclist was hit by a vehicle Sunday near Tamarack Street and North Seventh. Police are urging drivers and cyclists to share the road safely<\/p>\n

Another Bozeman cyclist hit by vehicle as police urge safety awareness on city roads<\/p>\n

Wurtz said she’s had a few close calls with cars while cycling in Bozeman. <\/p>\n

“There’s beef between drivers and bikers,” explained Wurtz. “Drivers think bikers are annoying, and you have to slow down to pass them, but just do it, that’s a person’s life, and they’re just getting out and having fun.” <\/p>\n

On Sunday, a bicyclist was hit by a vehicle. According to Bozeman Police patrol captain Hal Richardson, the accident happened around Tamarack Street and North Seventh. <\/p>\n

Richardson added that the cyclist was injured. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a lot of bicyclists in Bozeman,” explained Richardson. “So this does happen occasionally; we have had a few of them this spring already.\u201d<\/p>\n

A month ago, we reported on 12-year-old Elliott McCann<\/a>, who was struck by a car while riding his bike at the intersection of Hunter’s Way and Babcock Street. <\/p>\n

Richardson has this message for drivers: “Just be aware \u2014 we’re in a community with a lot of cyclists, so always be aware.” <\/p>\n

For bikers, he said: “As a reminder, when you’re on the roadway, all of the rules and laws drivers have to abide by, cyclists have to as well.” <\/p>\n

The incident from Sunday is still under investigation at this time. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BOZEMAN \u2014 Although there’s over 80 miles of in-town trails and paved pathways for bikers and walkers here…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":663447,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[445],"tags":[245083,245079,245084,245078,245081,49,48,635,245080,245082,245085,82],"class_list":["post-663446","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cycling","tag-bangtail-bicycle","tag-bozeman-bicycle-safety","tag-bozeman-bike-lanes","tag-bozeman-cyclist-accident","tag-bozeman-police","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-cycling","tag-cyclist-hit-by-car-bozeman","tag-hal-richardson","tag-montana-cycling-safety","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/663446","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=663446"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/663446\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/663447"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=663446"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=663446"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=663446"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
