imho,

Colorado Springs is very populated. The congested roads leads towards
people running reds, and hitting each other. Because of this some
people can't aford car insurance, so many uninsured/unlicensed drivers
are on the roads. Also the Olympic Training center is there, the
locals hate bike riding groups taking up two lanes, so it happens to
be a local sport to run down a rider, or two, and get away with it.

Careful, with what you base your relocation on, you have to live with
it later.

Just my option,
