Overview

The tour starts at the Pedego Boulder shop in downtown Boulder where riders receive their electric bikes, helmets, and a safety briefing. From there, the group cycles along the Boulder Creek path and nearby quiet residential streets, covering roughly 15 miles with over 1,000 feet of elevation gain. The ride passes several key locations including Settler's Park, where guides talk about Boulder's early settlers and history. Next, the tour approaches the Flatiron Mountains, offering views from the north, east, and south sides. Riders then stop at Colorado Chautauqua Park at the foothills of the Flatirons to hear about the park's historical and current uses. The route continues through the University of Colorado Boulder campus, where the group may visit the buffalo-shaped lap pool, the Memorial Center rooftop, and local bike paths. The ride climbs to the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) via quiet bike paths, providing panoramic views of the Front Range and Boulder. While the tour does not typically enter the facility, guides share information about it. Afterwards, riders see Folsom Field football stadium, then stop at Central Park to discuss its public uses and the history of Boulder’s Tea House. The last segment follows the Boulder Creek path back to the starting point at the Pedego shop. The tour lasts about 2.5 hours and includes use of an electric bike, helmet, and a professional local guide. Riders must be at least 18 years old and able to ride a bike comfortably before arrival.
