Evans, when they&#8217;re tuned for lower altitudes. It strikes me that that&#8217;s a question a lot of people planning to come here might have so I figured I would reprint here the reply I sent him. Here it is.<\/p>\n<p>With the understanding that my bikes are tuned for the altitude in Denver (5,000 feet, more or less) I&#8217;m happy to say that I&#8217;ve never had any problems. They start, run, and act just like they do in the city. Also, I had a note from a guy who lives in Atlanta who came out to Colorado and he went to the top of Mt. Evans and didn&#8217;t have any problem either. I&#8217;ve been all over the state and seen people from many states stopping to enjoy the view at the top of passes and I&#8217;ve never seen anyone having trouble starting their bike or had anyone mention anything about a problem. Hopefully that means you won&#8217;t have anything to worry about. <\/p>\n<p>So that&#8217;s what I told him. If any of you have had bad experiences please write and let me know about them and how you handled the problem. Thanks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got an email recently from someone in Vancouver, B.C., asking about how a bike runs in Colorado, particularly in places such as Mt.
