People for Bikes

To ride a bike is to be free. Forged from the bones of the Earth and the gravity of the mind, the bicycle is synergy and harmony. Go for a ride and restore your hope.

1. The wind on your skin, the endorphins pulsing, it is easy to forget that your objective is anything otherwise. Check out the map of Denver routes to determine your commute to work.

2. Feeling like some whimsy? Check out the New Belgium Tour de Fat.

3. Go for a family ride on one of Denver's bike trails: Cherry Creek, Highline, South Platte, Sand Creek, or Clear Creek.

4. Find adventure and beauty on a foothills mountain bike ride: South Valley or Waterton Canyon (beginner), Green Mountain or North Table Mountain (intermediate), or Centennial Cone or Apex (advanced).

5. Advocate for biking policies and infrastructure. Check out People for Bikes.
