About This Data
Bike route data comes from Denver's Open Data Catalog bicycle facility layer, updated quarterly. Pedestrian demand index scores are calculated by Denver Public Works to identify high-priority pedestrian corridors.
Protected bike lanes (cyan) offer physical separation from vehicle traffic. Bike trails (green) are off-street paths. Shared lanes (yellow) are marked with sharrow symbols. Buffered lanes (orange) include painted buffers.
The Denver Bike & Walkability Map 2026 covers the city's trail system and route-planning tools for cyclists and pedestrians. It helps riders plan trips that combine on-street lanes, off-street paths, and transit options. Visit Denver lists the region's routes under sports and recreation, which is why the trails here suit a weekend ride or a commute across Denver neighborhoods. This guide organizes the maps into three sections for quick reference.
Trail system and routes
The Cherry Creek Regional Trail and the South Platte River Trail form the core of the regional trail network. Visit Denver lists these routes under its sports and recreation trails section, along with other paths across the metro area Denver Bike Trails and Maps. These routes link districts and neighborhoods, making them the primary choice for recreation and commuting. Cyclists choose these trails when they want to ride safely across neighborhoods rather than in traffic.
City bike infrastructure plan
The City and County of Denver publishes a route-planning page for bicyclists that documents the city's infrastructure plan, including protected lanes and corridor data Plan Your Route - City and County of Denver. Commuters should read this page to plan trips on safer corridors where protected lanes run alongside general traffic. The plan also shows where the network is growing, so riders can follow expansions along major streets and corridors. This is why checking the city's route planner before a trip matters: it ties planned infrastructure to specific neighborhoods so cyclists can choose the safest path.
Bike share and fares
Bike-sharing options connect to the trail and transit network, and The Low-Stress Denver Bike Map provides an overview of cycling routes and bike-share operators in the area The Low-Stress Denver Bike Map. The map is low-stress by design, which is why it is useful for riders who want calmer routes through the city rather than busy streets. Share operators cover short trips across the core city where owning or bringing a bicycle is not practical, and the route overview shows how a shared ride fits into a longer trip without a personal vehicle.
