One of the best ways to experience Golden is to pedal your way around town. With 24 miles of interconnected trails, bike lanes throughout town, and world-class mountain biking, the whole family can enjoy all Golden has to offer on two wheels. On April 20, the Golden Bike Library will open for its second season, so you’ll likely see the Golden Bike Library bikes, with their signature yellow baskets, all over town. This unique bike share program allows visitors, residents, local employees and students to “check out” a bike for a limited time-period for local use in Golden. What makes a bike library different than a traditional bike share program like “B-cycle” in Denver is that the “library” has adult bikes available in three sizes, as well as children’s bikes. Additionally, the bikes feature lightweight frames and 21 gears to navigate Golden’s hills. Users can check out bikes for local trips, employment meetings, and recreation or to link to local public transportation. The Golden Bike Library is centrally located at the Golden Visitors Center at 1010 Washington Avenue. Users can check out bikes Thursday through Sunday from 10
