Let's ride!

Spring is officially here and it’s time to get back on the bike! As part of the Active Bike Corridors program, Bicycle Colorado will be leading group rides into downtown Denver every Friday throughout May and June. We’re calling these rides Coffee Commutes, as we’ll be starting from various coffee shop locations on the outskirts of town.

The routes will follow the nearest Active Bike Corridor and will be accessible to all ages, experience levels, and abilities. We want to show folks just how easy it is to commute by bike into Downtown, so come out and join us!

The scoop

Each Friday beginning May 7, we will be leading various group rides from different Denver coffee shop locations. Rides leave at 8:15 a.m, so come early if you’d like to grab a beverage and meet your ride leaders. All rides terminate at Skyline Park in downtown Denver at approximately 8:45 a.m, depending on the start location. Rides will be led by our expert team of education staff, and group sizes will be limited to just 6 riders. All you need is a functioning bike and a fun attitude as we help to kick start your Friday in the best way possible—on a bike!

How do I join?

To join one or more of our rides, please use the individual signup links below. Registration for the rides will close at 2 pm the day prior. Attendees will be notified the day before to remind you of your ride, who your ride leaders are, and any other necessary details. We welcome riders to join us to practice their bike commuting skills, even if they aren’t needing to arrive downtown for the day.

What about the ride home?

Based on the various individual schedules at the end of the day, we won’t be able to support an afternoon ride out of downtown.
