Bicycle Friendly Community

Breckenridge, CO | Gold Level

Community Highlights: From the paved pathways, to the mountain bike races, to the bike lanes, to the pump track, to the Freeride Park, to the miles of excellent singletrack, Breckenridge has demonstrated a long term commitment to providing resources for bicyclists of all types and abilities. In addition to the physical environment, bicycling education is offered in every school and classes are available for adults as well. Bicycling is clearly a part of the Town's cultural identity. It is the focus of the July 4th parade, integral to summer time tourism and events, imbedded in the Town's sustainability goals and part of encouraging a thriving walkable/bikeable community.

Most Significant Recent Accomplishment: The Town converted two main street parking spaces into on-street bike parking. A second significant recent project was the realignment of a mile long section of the Middle Flume mountain bike trail which corrected a previous alignment that had created erosion issues. In the third major investment the Town partnered with Summit County on the construction of the last section of the Swan Mountain Rec Path, which now seamlessly encircles Lake Dillon over 19 miles.

Most Compelling Community Statistic: Breckenridge boasts bike lanes on 95 percent of streets and over 100 miles of mountain biking trails - all nestled in the beautiful environment with the scenic backdrop of the Rocky Mountains.
