Golden Cruises

The Golden Cruise is a massive biking event in Golden, Colorado. Every month or so dozens of bikers meet at Woody's Pizza in downtown Golden then ride together all around, eventually culminating in a liberating glide down Washington street. The routes vary from time to time and participants may ebb and flow, but the enjoyment experienced never wavers.

Janice Schlickman, a resident of Golden and a regular participant in this event iterates “It’s an absolute blast!” She further emphasizes how people dress up in full costume for these rides while some adorn their bikes with Christmas tree lights to light up the night. There are many who choose not to wear helmets during this event, however, it is strongly encouraged to do so. After all, it is possible to keep your head safe and look pretty snappy as Annie Oakley with a helmet hidden under a cowboy hat.

This month the cruise happens on August 30th. The theme will be “Bike In Movie Night.” So if you plan to attend, there will be a costume contest for people who decide to come as movie characters and plenty of food and drink to go around before heading out at 6:30 pm.
