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.

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.

You'll visit Boulder's most iconic locations and, led by your knowledgeable, personable guide, get a local's-eye view of the Boulder "bubble" as they show you some hidden gems as well.

Take in breathtaking views of the Flatirons while you discover the extensive urban/nature interface that defines Boulder, and feel the thrill of pedal-assisted eBiking (with throttle!) — by far the most fun way for riders of all abilities to explore Boulder.

Boulder’s Hidden Trails: A Guided eBike Adventure

Already explored Boulder’s highlights (maybe on our Boulder Joyride)? Or perhaps you just want to skip the “tourist spots” and get straight to the joy of riding? Then Boulder’s Hidden Trails is your adventure.

This ride is less about sightseeing, more about flow: fewer stops, fewer crowds, more beauty, more ride time.

Your guide, longtime local and Chief Joyrider JD, has crafted a route that only a seasoned Boulderite would know — cruising on bike paths, trails, and tucked-away cut-throughs that weave between quiet neighborhoods and breathtaking open space, showing you the Boulder you won't read about in guidebooks.

It’s about surprise and delight, and discovering a Boulder that most visitors never see. Like most riders, when you're done with this route you'll find yourself saying: “If not for this, I never would have seen all of that.”
