Ben Schmitt – Active Transportation Story
Ben Schmitt is the City of Manitou Springs Government’s Public Services Director and City Engineer, and regularly rides his bicycle to work. Ben enjoys replacing short car trips and errands with his electric bicycle which makes getting to/from home and work a breeze, and he encourages others to do the same. Riding a bike is a great way to exercise, to get around Manitou, supports Manitou’s multi-modal vision, and is an excellent way to experience our community in a different way.
But don’t take our word for it, you can listen to Ben’s perspective below.

Brandon Sutton – Active Transportation Story
Hi I’m Brandon Sutton I live in here in Colorado Springs on the westside and I live car-free. That means I take the bus, bike, or walk everywhere. That includes Manitou Springs, other places in Colorado Springs like where I work and even all the way up to Denver.
What’s really important to me is getting other people out here in the community to just replace one or two trips maybe in their week. Maybe it’s regular errands or taking the kids and family out for fun with one of those modes of transportation and see how easy and fun it can be!
