Boulder Startup Week

June is Boulder Walk & Bike Month

Throughout June, participate in over 75 free events happening throughout Boulder - many happening downtown. This month-long celebration of walking and biking leads up to Walk and Bike to Work Day on June 24.

Now in its 39th year, Boulder’s Walk & Bike Month, presented by GO Boulder, is one of the oldest and largest events of its kind in the nation. What began as a one-day event in 1977 has grown to a month-long celebration. Last year, more than 5,000 people registered for Bike to Work Day alone, and organizers expect an even larger turnout this year for the main event.
