It's on (two wheels).

I saw this morning a post on bikeportland about a realtor there who shows people houses and properties in Portland. The newsworthy thing is that she takes her clients around neighborhoods on bicycles. The story reminded me of Boulder's own Pedal to Properties. The fine folks over there have supported cycling in Boulder in countless ways, from giving away some sweet cruiser bikes for charity raffles, to just getting people out on bikes to look at houses.
I sent a link over to Chris at Pedal to Properties, and mentioned the connection. He wrote back and asked,"Hmm, is there a similar website for Boulder?" I wasn't aware of one. Until now.

I have lots of lofty goals for Boulder Bikes. I'd love to be able to bridge the gap between the different families of people who ride bikes in Boulder, and cater to all of them. Boulder has so many bicycle interests--commuters, kids, the boulder cruisers, mountain bikers, roadies, 18 bike shops (EIGHTEEN!), some great city employees who are super into bikes, BVSD, all kinds of bike industry folks, the Burnworks and other freakbikers, couriers, and tons of other folks who enjoy riding two wheeled, human powered vehicles.

If you have or know someone who has something that would interest cyclists of any kind, please get in touch, and I'll post it. If you're interested in writing, please please please get in touch. Again, lots of ideas for where we can take this thing. There are plenty of bike blogs and things of interest to people who ride bikes already on the internet. My main goal is to make this the place to go for those of us in on bikes in Boulder and the Front Range.

This is a very cool idea and I'm really looking forward to see what comes of it.
