The Boulder Joyride eBike Tour
They say Boulder is "27 square miles surrounded by reality." Is that still true? Maybe, maybe not. See it for yourself from all sides on this relaxing joyride through The People's Republic, during which you will:
- Experience our vibrant outdoor culture firsthand as you glide with delight between Boulder's abundant open spaces, pleasant neighborhoods, and charming downtown, along an extensive (and safe) network of bike paths and quiet streets.
- Visit Boulder's most iconic locations and, led by your knowledgeable, personable guide, get a local's-eye view of the Boulder "bubble" as you stop by some hidden gems as well.
- Take in breathtaking views of the Flatirons while you discover the extensive urban/nature interface that defines Boulder.
- Feel the thrill of pedal-assisted eBiking (with throttle!) — by far the most fun way for riders of all abilities to explore Boulder.
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.
This exhilarating, two(ish)-hour Tour de Boulder includes:
- Boulder Creek Path
- Scott Carpenter Park
- Central Park/Dushanbe Teahouse
- Eben G Fine Park
- Boulder Canyon
- University Hill
- Chautauqua Park
- The Flatirons
- CU Campus
All rides start and end at the JD's Joyrides Bike Shack. The address is:
