About us
The Denver Bicycle Touring Club, Inc. (DBTC) is the original bicycling club of the Denver Metro area. DBTC is a non-profit corporation run by volunteers. The Club promotes recreational and commuter cycling, bike safety, and education of the general public in cycling matters. The Club organizes and sponsors weekend and weekday rides. Rides are divided into categories of interest including LEISURE, MTB, FUN, FUN+, and INTERMEDIATE. We typically offer at least two Out of Town Tours.
Also, we publish a monthly newsletter, available to members, of its activities and ride schedule.
We invite you to enjoy your first ride as a Guest. After that, we request you join the Denver Bicycle Touring Club - annual dues are $35.00 for a single and $70.00 for a Family Membership.
Anyone interested in Colorado bicycling is eligible to join DBTC.
