Share the Road license plates raise awareness and encourage everyone to use our roads safely and respectfully. With nearly 6,000 plates on Colorado vehicles, together we’re spreading the word while raising funds to help make Colorado an even more bicycle-friendly state.
Order your Share the Road certificate PIN online. You’ll make a one-time $25 donation to Bicycle Colorado, and we’ll email your PIN. Please allow a few business days to receive your PIN. If you need it expedited, instructions will be in your confirmation email. Thanks for your support!
Alternatively, if you purchased a paper certificate in person at a Denver-area BikeSource, Email Bicycle Colorado at info@bicyclecolorado.org to get your PIN for online or in-person processing through the DMV. You’ll need to provide us with your name(s) exactly as they are listed on your vehicle registration in order for us to process your PIN.
Finish the process through the DMV. You’ll pay a one-time, $50 state specialty license fee plus your regular registration fees. With your certificate PIN, complete your transaction online through DMV in-person or e-services.

We envision a Colorado where riding a bicycle is always safe and convenient for everyone, where bicycling is the top choice for recreation and everyday trips, and where the benefits of bicycling are experienced and valued by all people in our state.
Share the Road license plates enable Bicycle Colorado to encourage safe driving behaviors. The funds raised from plate purchases go directly to our share the road education fund.
