No car in Aurora for 2 weeks—worth shipping my MTB from Boston or renting instead?
Hey everyone!
I’ll be in Aurora for about two weeks, staying near the Anschutz Medical Campus, and I’m hoping to get some riding in while I’m there.
I won’t have a car, so I’m trying to figure out how feasible mountain biking is from that area. Are there any decent trails I can access by bike or public transit? From what I’ve seen on Trailforks, most spots look a bit far without driving—but I’d love to hear from locals.
I’m also debating whether it’s worth shipping my bike from Boston (round trip would be about $600). If trail access is limited without a car, it might not make sense—but if there are good options nearby, I’d definitely consider it.
Alternatively, are there any affordable bike rental options in the area? Most places I’ve checked seem pretty pricey—just a few days of renting adds up close to the cost of shipping my own bike.
Would really appreciate any advice or local insights. Thanks in advance!
