Get in shape. Save the environment. Avoid traffic. Feel like a kid again. There are many reasons to ride a bike. When a city gets 300 days of sunshine per year and boasts miles of bike paths, how better to get around than on a bicycle? So pick a reason to ride and saddle up for a bike tour of Denver!

Denver makes seeing the sights on two wheels easy with its B-cycle bicycle sharing program. Grab a membership (access for 24 hours costs $6) and find one of 50 racks of red cruiser bikes scattered throughout the city. Hop on. Arrive at another rack within 30 minutes. When you're ready to move on, just unlock another bike and hit the bike lane. With so many conveniently placed stations, there's no need to worry about locking your bike, having it stolen, or forgetting where you left it.

The following B-cycle stations are located close to cool museums, restaurants, and shopping districts. Grab a map and plan a route, or just pick a station and explore!

REI 1416 Platte St

No other Denver store is as much of a destination in its own right as the flagship REI store at Confluence Park. Platte Street offers boutique shopping, restaurants, and easy access to the Highland neighborhood via a foot bridge. Head the other direction for Coors Field and LoDo.

17th and Larimer

One block from the 16th Street Mall, two blocks from Larimer Square, and just minutes from both downtown and LoDo, this station provides easy access to just about every part of central Denver. 

Denver Public Library

The Denver Art Museum, State Capitol, and other museums and historical sites are within a short walk of this centrally located station. Head south toward Cherry Creek, or northwest toward the 16th Street Mall and LoDo.

Cherry Creek Mall

Pick-up or drop-off your B-cycle ride at this station located within walking distance of the shops and restaurants at Cherry Creek North.  

Many of Denver's best sights and sounds can be found along an imaginary line running between Northwest Denver's Highland neighborhood, and Cherry Creek to the southeast. The Cherry Creek Trail, which runs below Speer Boulevard, is the main cycling artery through Denver, and the best way to gain some distance without battling pedestrians or traffic.
