Boulder’s Walk & Bike Month organizers have finalized the full list of activities and events for June, the month when Boulder will celebrate its world-class bicyclist and pedestrian culture. Boulder’s Walk & Bike Month is among the largest in the nation, and more than 9,000 participants are expected this year for Bike to Work Day alone. Walk & Bike Month grew from a single day of bicycling activities in 1977 and is now in its 34th year.

This year, Walk & Bike Month will include more than 80 events and activities, including events for kids, seniors, families and women. Community Cycles, Seniors on Bikes, Boulder Mountainbike Alliance, Walk Boulder and many other local organizations will host events. In addition, there will be many weekly group bicycle rides for all ages and skill levels, kids’ bike rodeos, and walks and runs at various Boulder locations.
