Any such appeal shall address the question of whether the underlying violation on which the impoundment was based created a special need for very prompt action. Impounded bicycles will be held for a minimum of 90 days before being sent to Surplus Property for disposal at auction. A reasonable attempt will be made to contact the owner during this time. Severely damaged or inoperable bicycles will be disposed of within 30 days. Other moving violations, as defined by CRS and MTC, are considered safety violations as well and may be cited by the officer.
All traffic accidents involving a bicycle are subject to a police investigation if required by law.
Bicyclists may be subject to a county or municipal summons in these cases. In those cases where formal investigation is not required and the accident is a result of a safety violation, the fine will be doubled for that violation only. In addition to the issuance of a Bicycle Violation Notice violators may also be referred for appropriate University discipline within their constituency groups for repeated violations, personal conduct or other issues of concern. Changes to the fine schedule can be requested of the State Board of Agriculture via recommendations of the BEEP Advisory Board and Chief of Police. Fees for police department services are set by the Chief of Police.
