Full Breakdown

Section 16-471 gives bicycles and electrical assisted bicycles the rights and duties of any other vehicle on Greeley roadways. Subsection (e) requires a cyclist moving slower than traffic to ride in the right-hand lane, positioning as far right as the bicyclist judges safe when that lane can be shared with overtaking vehicles. Subsection (f) caps group riding at two abreast except on bike-only paths, and requires riders to drop into a single lane on a laned roadway once riding two abreast would impede the normal movement of traffic.

Violations & Fines

Riding three or more abreast, or staying side-by-side on a laned road once that pace is impeding following traffic, is a violation of § 16-471 that carries the same Code penalties as any other traffic offense.
