About this experience
The Boulder Joyride eBike Tour best illustrates why Boulder is one of the best cities on earth for riding bikes. From our centrally-located starting point, we'll take to bike paths, streets, alleys and other byways on this comprehensive, local's-eye view of Boulder. We'll explore the town's eclectic neighborhoods, visit popular (and lesser known) areas of interest, take in stunning views, and immerse ourselves in Boulder's vibrant outdoor culture.
Along the way you’ll discover Boulder’s unique urban/nature interface, eclectic neighborhoods, and fun “alternate” routes that only someone with decades of local riding experience (like your JD's Joyrides guide) knows.
