Best Neighborhood for an Easy, Breezy Bike Ride
Golden Triangle
A bike ride is one of the best ways to soak up a sunny Denver day, and few neighborhoods make it easier than the Golden Triangle, a quiet area sitting in downtown’s shadow. Although it’s bordered by Broadway, Speer Boulevard and Colfax Avenue, just a few blocks from those big streets you’ll find tranquil spots to stop and explore small shops and unique architecture and niches. Afterward, take a break at West 12th Avenue and Acoma Street, where you can relax in the cozy seating of the Civic Center Cultural Complex or the shade of the Denver Art Museum. The intersection is just a short ride to Leven Deli, Denver Public Library and Civic Center Park, and restaurants, bars and shops along Broadway are reachable without having to actually bike on Broadway. The peaceful sharrows and green protected bike lanes of the Golden Triangle take cyclists to some of the neatest corners of Denver without daring them to cross or share the city’s busier, more dangerous streets.
