BIKE THIS WAY

In Denver, bicycles are considered vehicles under Chapter 54 of the Denver Revised Municipal Code. As such, bicyclists have all the rights and duties that apply to motorized vehicles. Bicycles are allowed on almost all Denver streets. If you need to brush up on some of the bike-rules of the road, let us help...

Riding with a friend?

Not a problem. Bicyclists may ride two abreast (next to each other). But remember, that riding two abreast must not impede the normal and reasonable movement of traffic, and on a laned roadway shall ride within a single lane.

What about sidewalks?

The sidewalk is part of a designated bike route, within one block of preparing to mount/ dismount at parking (speed limit 6 MPH).

Cool. Just make sure your bicycle is equipped with a front white light visible to 500 feet and a rear red reflector visible when illuminated by headlights to 600 feet.

One person per bike, please.

Except when riding a tandem bike, or with a child in an approved carrier. Children should always wear a helmet.
