We teach people how to safely and confidently use e-bikes!

E-bikes allow more people to ride bikes. They can give folks more flexibility, convenience, and power, allowing them to use their bikes more often. Thanks to e-bike rebate programs in many communities around the state and from the State of Colorado, there are a lot of new – and potential – e-bike riders out there!

Bicycle Colorado is working hard to increase access to e-bikes for more people in Colorado. We advocate for infrastructure and policies that will make our streets and trails safer for riders, new and experienced alike.

With our partners the Denver Streets Partnership, we invite you to our free E-Bike 101 course with everything you need to know before and after you start riding an e-bike. Get familiar with how e-bikes work, how to decide what type of e-bike would work best for your needs, and how to be a confident and happy e-bike rider. We will cover what an electric bicycle is, how to handle your e-bike battery, where you can ride e-bikes in Colorado, and best practices for rider safety and etiquette.

Free E-Bike 101 webinar
Every Wednesday, 6:30-7:30 p.m.

DID YOU KNOW?

Household motor vehicle trips are one of the biggest sources of transportation emissions in the country. In 2017, about 75% of household motor vehicle trips were just 10 miles or less. For short to medium-length trips like these, e-bikes can be an incredible mobility and emissions solution.

Compared to traditional bikes, e-bikes allow more people to ride further, across harder terrain, with groceries or children, at an older age or with mobility issues, and more. Plus, you’re reducing your carbon footprint!

We’re thrilled to see so many people out enjoying (and often rediscovering the joy of) riding a bike right now, and we’re asking ALL bicyclists to do their part to prevent the spread of #covid19 by wearing a mask or other face covering when out for a ride. Doing so keeps you, your loved ones, those around you, and all Coloradans safer while helping reduce stress on our medical system. If you still need a mask, click the link in our bio to pre-order one now and support our advocacy work! Thanks so much to everyone who has already purchased, and to @primalwear for supporting our efforts over the years. Ride on.
  • #BicycleColorado volunteers and staff members spent time today helping @denverurbangardens and @denverfoodrescue deliver “Grow a Garden” food boxes to home-bound families in Denver—via bike! Supporting our community on two wheels makes for a great way to spend a sunny day. Many thanks to our friends @ddchen47, David M., and @juggernautcargo for your help! Head to denverfoodrescue.org or dug.org to learn more about these great local organizations. #rideyourbike
  • Tonight the #BicycleColorado team celebrated Stacey, our outgoing Development Director, with a virtual happy hour. Stacey has been an absolute rockstar for BC. We’re sad to see her leave, but thrilled for her as she heads out on a new adventure (hopefully in the #BikeAdvocacy space!) in North Carolina. Please join us in wishing her well!
