+1. I really enjoyed the Denver Bike trails on my visit there last summer. There were a number of times that I ended up at a dead end though. The trails could use a few more signs. Often the rider will come to a Y, and there won't be any sign. This was a little disheartening in a few instances, after already riding about 100 miles.

The Cherry Creek trail has a portion where peds and bikes are on opposite sides of the creek (You still run across a couple clueless peds, but for the most part, they stick to their own side of the creek)

In addition there are a lot of on-street routes and lanes for bikes, as well. I enjoy riding around here!
