sandee@communitycycles.orgNews

It’s hard to believe another Walk and Bike Month has come and gone. And what a month it was, from the B360 to Bike to Work Day! Thank you to all of our volunteers, every business who hosted a breakfast station, and every person who got involved in the month-long activities to celebrate walking and biking culture in Boulder. 

Highlights

B360: Circle Boulder by Bicycle was a success despite the rain. There was even a contingent of adaptive bikes that braved the weather!

Boulder Bike Show saw a wide array of bikes and their people, even a hammock bike!

Walk 360 / W360: 26 mile walk around Boulder

Bike To Work Day + Happy Hour

Thanks to everyone who bicycled, walked, or bused their way around Boulder on Bike to Work Day

To all the riders who participated, you are the reason this event exists. Your enthusiasm and passion for cycling brings us all together and reminds us that there is hope for a better future for our state and the environment. Thank you!

Together for Bike to Work Day we accomplished some pretty terrific things throughout the Boulder/Denver area:

– About 17,981 people skipped a car trip and rode their bikes instead!

– Roughly 28 percent of cyclists who registered online were first-time Bike to Work Day riders.

– 390 businesses participated in the Business Challenge, encouraging their employees to swap a ride in their cars for a ride on two wheels.

– 267 stations provided support to riders with breakfast, water or by hosting an after-work party!
