By bicycle from Glendale to Denver

This ride kicks off in Glendale, a bustling enclave tucked right next to Denver and known for its lively atmosphere and handy access to Cherry Creek. You'll wind your way northwest for about 8.4 kilometers (just over 5 miles), with a gentle mix of paved paths and concrete cycling routes that make it super beginner-friendly. The bulk of your route is on designated cycleways—so you can relax and soak in the scenery, rather than worrying about traffic.

You’ll lose a little elevation overall, which just means less pedaling uphill and a little more swooping fun as you cruise into Denver proper. The city itself is epic for cyclists, boasting wide boulevards, tons of bike-friendly coffee shops, and easy access to the sprawling green spaces that make Denver so livable.

It’s a breezy urban ride that takes you from the suburban charms of Glendale straight into the heart of Colorado’s vibrant capital. Perfect for a commuter, weekend explorer, or anyone needing a scenic spin between two lively Colorado communities!
