All About Bikes
The Golden Bicycle Cruise happens tonight. This family friendly event meets at the parking lot west of the Golden Public library. Same format as years past….Kegs tapped at 6:00 p.m. in the library parking lot (site of the Golden Farmer’s Market). Ride starts at 7:00 p.m. Festivities continue with food, beer and music until 9:30 p.m. Food by Bob’s Atomic Burgers, music by the Skeleton Dolls, and beer by New Terrain. Tonight’s theme is Red White & Blue. The moon will rise at 7:18 this evening, and it’s one day short of full. Pretty night for a ride!
Tomorrow is Bike-to-Work Day. The City will be hosting a breakfast station from 6:30-9AM in front of the Visitors Center.
The Golden Bike Library is in full swing for the year. They are open Thursday through Sunday from 10AM-4PM. The bike shed is located between the Visitors Center and the Creek, and you can borrow one for free for two hours or rent it for a full day for $10.
The City is doing a pilot program this summer with dockless bikes placed throughout downtown. To use these bikes, download the ofo app, scan the code on a bike, and borrow it for $1/hour.

Golden-based Yeti Cycles will be building a new headquarters and outdoor recreation campus just north of Golden on Highway 93. See the Transcript article about the new development.
