Boulder Highlights Bike Tour | Fat Tire Bike Tours

Overview

We strive to keep our tours unique! Your local guide will meet you to size up your bikes and chat with everyone about what they want to see most and their fitness level. We'll then start out by leaving the downtown area and making our way along alleys, streets, and bike paths, stopping along the way to see the sites and a few hidden gems. We'll always make a point of exploring the town's most eclectic neighborhoods. We like to include Boulder Creek Path, the CU campus, and Mapleton Hill just to name a few areas of interest! Riding with our friendly and knowledgeable local guides, you’ll easily fall in love with Boulder, and fully experience the joy of eBiking, all while discovering the best of this jewel of a city. We'll regale you with fun anecdotes and tales accumulated over 30+ years living in this beautiful and special place. We'll also include water and snacks, so all you have to do is show up!

Important information

Where is the meeting point?

This tour meets in the alley behind Dojo4 Tech Shop 2030 17th St, Boulder, CO 80302, United States.

What's the cancellation policy?

We’re happy to offer free changes and 100% refund up to 24 hours before tour departure. Failure to cancel a reservation at least 24 hours prior to scheduled departure may result in forfeited travel funds. Fare difference may apply.

What are your covid policies?

Fortunately, biking is one of the “cleanest” activities you can still enjoy in this time of virus. As of this writing, there are no local mask mandates in Boulder. However, some local businesses still do require masks and in the event we should stop at one (bathroom, beer or coffee break, for example) it’s a good idea to have one with you just in case. And, of course, if you’re feeling ill or symptomatic, please consider rebooking.

What if it rains?

Weather conditions can change rapidly in Boulder and safety is our highest priority. If the weather is inclement and not conducive to a safe and pleasant tour, we will cancel the tour and riders can reschedule for another day or receive a full refund.

Minimum rider age is 14. We have limited accommodation for younger children.

Most of our fleet consists of Rad City and Rad City Step-Thru eBikes from Rad Power Bikes.

Yes.

Will we enter any of the monuments that we see?

Not during the tour, but we're happy to provide you with recommendations to go back and visit the places that interest you most once the tour is over.

How long is the tour?

The tour is about three hours long and covers a distance of 7-12 miles/11-19 kilometers.

Can I leave the tour early?

Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate special requests like this on our group tours, and ask that you plan on staying with us until the tour is over.

Can I store my luggage at your shop during the tour?

Yes!

Will my bike have a basket?

Some bikes have baskets. All bikes have racks to which we can attach your pack. Your guide will also have some (but not unlimited) carrying capacity for extra jackets/gear.
