What you will see!

How the Tour Works!

  • It's FREE and self-guided.
  • YOU choose where to start.
  • USE the Tour Maps to choose what to see:
  • ...chickens
  • ...gardens
  • ...bee hives
  • ...goats
  • Biking and carpooling are highly encouraged! Families and Children too!

    Boulder B-cycle is proud to be part of Tour De Coops Boulder! This year the entire B-cycle system will be available free of charge for all Tour de Coops participants! It will be a great way to easily get to the coops you want to see. This is how it works: access passes are free but riders must still follow the system rule of one hour per trip to avoid usage fees. Tour riders can register for a free 24-hour pass (regularly $5) at the Boulder B-cycle stations using the promotion code TOURDECOOPS2012, but you still must check in your B-cycles at a station at least once an hour to avoid usage fees. Sounds like a plan!
