Highlights
- Downtown - Many of the murals we’ll see are spread across Boulder’s downtown/Pearl Street area.
- Boulder Theater - More specifically, we’ll focus on the alley behind the Boulder Theater. That’s where we’ll find 3 large murals put up during the 2020 Streetwise Mural Festival.
- Boulder Creek Path - Segments of our tour will take us to the Boulder Creek Path, the lovely tree-lined east/west corridor that is the backbone of Boulder’s extensive system of bike paths and trails. Just cruising the path on eBike is one of the most fun things you can do in Boulder. Along the way you’ll encounter a nice cross-section of Boulderites, walking, jogging, biking, rollerblading and skateboarding up and down Boulder’s “Main Street.”
- Goose Creek Greenway - The Goose Creek Greenway is another of Boulder’s splendid bike paths. This one will take us east of town, then north, past funky warehouse districts, one of Boulder’s largest prairie dog colonies, past the Valmont Skate Park and through a mix of north Boulder neighborhoods. It’s a great place to open up these eBikes and see what they can do!
- Wonderland Lake Park - At the west end of the exhilarating Wonderland Lake Greenway sits Wonderland Lake, nestled up against the mountains shooting up on the western edge of town. The Greenway itself is one of the best stretches of bikeway in town, taking you through areas only accessible via the path and eclectic neighborhoods. And the Lake is one of this town’s prettiest spots.

Great e-bike tour of Boulder - Joel was a great guide for our e-bike tour of Boulder. He knows every neighborhood and trail, and seems to enjoy being out with people. He is not overly chatty which we appreciated, as we wanted to see as much as possible, and he tailored our tour to our preferences on things to see. Highly recommend.

Highly Recommended - Joel was an awesome guide! He was very knowledgeable about the area and was super patient with a couple of first time EBike riders. He was a great teacher and I felt comfortable zooming the streets after just a few minutes of him showing us how to use the bikes. I appreciated Joel’s in depth knowledge of the murals and the Street Wise program. It was clear that he had a lot of heart for the art and the city of Boulder. He helped us experience the city in a way we would not have otherwise been able to. He helped us make some really special memories of our trip here in Colorado.
I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Boulder!

Highlight of our trip - This was by far and away the highlight of our trip to Boulder. Joel was super knowledgeable and the e-bike was a super fun way to experience Boulder. The murals were interesting and then we did a campus tour for the last 30 mins. Highly recommend this tour.

Wonderful Ride with Joel - Joel was prompt and very helpful preparing us to ride the Ebikes. He took us on a fabulous tour, which included the beautiful Boulder murals, several gorgeous miles of bike path and special sites. We had a terrific time. Joel was well versed in the art, Boulder history and just a pleasure to join for the afternoon. We could not recommend him more highly.

best way to see boulder with a time limit! - We only had a day in Boulder and we knew we wanted to see the town and the university and this tour was perfect! Joel listened to what we wanted and tailored the tour for our family of four—we rode all over UC and saw murals and parts of town we would never have seen on our own, even got a great recommendation for dinner after the tour… my two 16 yr olds loved it. Eight enthusiastic thumbs up from this family!

Great Tour Great Guide - This was a great way to see Boulder. Mural themed but lots of other sites. JD was the perfect host. Can't pedal a bike very far? No worries, the E-Bikes were a dream!
