A Frozen Thumbs-Up

A frozen thumbs-up and a frigid smile goes out to the city of Boulder for managing to somehow keep the bike paths clear of snow and very bikeable! Just over 24 hours following the most recent snow and freezing temperatures, here's what bike paths throughout the city looked like:





These photos were taken on the Boulder Creek Path between Folsom and 17th, and as can be seen, the city has done an incredible job of clearing the snow, minimizing the ice, and helping our paths remain a great way to get around by bicycle.

One of the best things about biking in Colorado is that even if it's freezing, stormy, snowing, and blizzarding one day, it will most likely be clear and sunny the next, if not later that same afternoon. Here in Colorado, we know that biking is good to go pretty much any day. With that said, it's great to have a city that works to make biking – even in the winter – more accessible and more enjoyable. Bike paths, cleared of snow and weaving throughout the entire city of Boulder, along with Colorado's always-around-the-corner sunshine make for some great winter cycling.
