Boulder has always been a place where bikes and community thrive, but 2025 is different—it’s a year of game-changing progress with major infrastructure victories that seemed impossible just years ago. Thanks to years of advocacy and collective effort, projects once thought impossible are now reality, proving that when Boulder pedals together, we move mountains (and city policy).
Historic Wins for Safer Streets
City council has approved designs for improvements on both Folsom Street and North 30th Street, while the 30th Street multimodal project (from Arapahoe to Colorado) has reached completion.
The 30th Street transformation is particularly remarkable. What was once Boulder’s most dangerous corridor now showcases protected bike lanes, wider sidewalks, and enhanced transit stops—a complete safety overhaul that Community Cycles has championed since 2015.
After a decade of persistent advocacy, Folsom Street improvements have finally won approval. These hard-fought victories prove that sustained community pressure creates real change on Boulder’s streets

Community Voices Celebrating Change
To express appreciation for these victories, Community Cycles gathered 88 postcards from local cyclists who wrote heartfelt “love letters” to city council members, sharing personal stories of how safer infrastructure impacts their daily lives—from parents feeling secure about their children biking to school to commuters choosing bikes over cars.
Your Voice Builds the Future
Bike-first communities aren’t a coincidence we luck into. They’re an outcome we build together.
Community Cycles achieves wins because hundreds of members speak with one voice. When we unite, city officials listen and policies shift. Your membership proves Boulder residents are serious about safe cycling infrastructure.
Join today and help create Boulder’s next wave of victories. Together, we’ll make every season a season of bike love.
Keep the Momentum Rolling
Boulder’s 2025 Summer of Bike Love proves what’s possible when communities dream big and act bold. Today’s safer streets show collective action works—but our work isn’t finished.
Every protected bike lane and safer intersection depends on voices like yours. Add yours to the movement.
