Find the best bike rides in Colorado with Trek Great Rides
Whether you’re a roadie, mountain biker, gravel grinder, or just looking for a sweet place to ride, Colorado is a cyclist’s dream.
Filled with bike-friendly cities like Denver (a silver-level Bicycle Friendly Community), Boulder (platinum), Colorado Springs (silver), and Fort Collins (platinum), you’ll find hundreds of miles of protected bike lanes and paved pathways to keep you pedaling all day long.
With everything from flat, open roadways to rolling hills and quad-burning climbs, the Rocky Mountain State has a little something for every rider. Which is why you shouldn’t be surprised to see a pro, or even an entire peloton, taking advantage of this cycling playground.
And when it comes to taking things off road, mountain bikers will find thousands of trails to shred some gnar. From Apex Park in Golden to the Bobcat Ridge in Loveland, Boulder's Heil Valley Ranch, and Grand Junction’s Lunch Loops — you’re never far from your next singletrack adventure. Not to mention, gravel riders have plenty of room to explore from the Rockies to the plains, taking in unforgettable views every mile along the way.
