New film ‘Hard Miles’ captures bicycles, rides of passage and second chances

Bicycles are as quintessentially Colorado as 14ers and national parks, and for decades, Greg Townsend provided that very opportunity for countless young people — leading them from the medium-security correctional school where he worked in Watkins, Colorado, on rides across the country.
