Denver's Dark Side and True Crime by ebike or bike w/lunch
Overview
This tour blends true crime, Colorado history, and urban exploration into one unforgettable experience. Unlike typical sightseeing or food tours, we dive into Denver’s hidden past—riding through the city as we uncover its most shocking murders, heists, and scandals right where they happened.
You'll visit well-known landmarks with little-known stories, hear wild tales that most locals don’t even know, and experience the city from a completely different angle—all while getting fresh air and staying active on a scenic bike ride.
It’s part history, part true crime podcast come to life, and totally unlike anything else in Denver. The entire ride is about 12 miles. We have ebikes and regular bikes.

What To Expect
This one-of-a-kind true crime bike tour uncovers Denver’s most shocking and eerie stories. Starting in Five Points, we ride through downtown, the Highlands, and along the Platte River, hitting key locations tied to infamous crimes.
We’ll visit the site of a dramatic 1991 bank robbery, the Brown Palace murder scandal, and the spot where Union officer Silas Soule was assassinated after testifying against the Sand Creek Massacre. In Larimer Square, you’ll hear how William Larimer threatened to kill settlers to seize the land, and how the capital was taken over.
We'll bike into the Highlands to reveal the bizarre tale of the “Denver Spider Man,” who lived in an attic before murdering the homeowner. At Riverside Cemetery, we stop where Soule and other notable figures are buried. Back in RiNo, we visit the former workplace of Joseph Corbett Jr., who killed Adolph Coors III, and discuss the 2021 Denver mass shooting carried out by Lyndon McLeod.
Along the way, we touch on major Colorado cases—JonBenét Ramsey, Columbine, the Aurora theater shooting, Ted Bundy, and more. We end with pizza at Denver Central Market—because you’ll need it after a ride through Denver’s darkest chapters.
