Hey Colorado! June is bike month. Colorado is a premier bicycling state. To celebrate bicycling for transportation, fun and health, Colorado has designated each June as Bike Month.

Bicycle Colorado has partnered with the League of American Bicyclists, Denver-based Quality Bicycle Products (QBP) and Big Ring Cycles to offer 10 League Cycling Instructor (LCI) seminar scholarships to Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) bicyclists. These scholarships aim to acknowledge and reduce systemic barriers that have limited opportunities for BIPOC individuals to safely and enjoyably ride a bike. The organizers hope the certification will help people maximize their impact as a bike educator, model leadership of color and inspire others in their communities by challenging misconceptions of who rides a bike.

Applications are due Sunday, May 16 and open to all BIPOC bicyclists in Colorado.

38 Classic Colorado Climbs

One of the great cycling experiences in the state of Colorado is climbing in the foothills and mountains. Colorado has a tremendous selection of canyons, passes, and mountains to ride up. Here is our take on 38 classic Colorado climbs through Strava’s Leaderboards. Of course, this is all a bit of light-hearted fun – don’t take it too seriously, and don’t do anything dangerous to beat your personal best or that of a cycling comrade.
