Join us in supporting a culture of courtesy!

The City of Boulder's new initiative, "Share the Path", supports the building of a culture of courtesy in neighborhoods for those who choose to travel with micromobility including bikes, skateboards and scooters.


The campaign coincides with the citywide expansion of shared e-scooters operated by Lime and the city’s encouragement of e-bike adoption through e-bike incentives offered in summer 2023. As part of the city’s efforts to increase micromobility education and awareness, the city will continue to develop additional safety and education messaging for distribution in 2024.


Want to learn more about the positive environmental effects of micromobililty and how you can Share the Path? Find more information here.


As a friendly reminder from your downtown community, please make sure to adhere to the "No Wheels on the Mall" rule to promote safety on the pedestrian mall. Questions/concerns? Learn more here or reach out to us via email.
