There are tons of events and gatherings happening all throughout the year. The Boulder Bicycle Cruiser Ride happens weekly, and is a local tradition. Every Thursday evening you can go out with a large group of people to a random location in the city to cruise around on your favorite bike. The event is invite-only, and you must be invited in to see which site the group is meeting up at that week. The city is also home to an outdoor cinema located in downtown. The movies are screened during the summer time, and play fun family movies from just about any decade.
