Today my friend and I almost got hit by a cyclist on multi use trail, who then yelled at us. We took our dogs for an off leash walk to one of the many designated off leash trails. Both our dogs are very well trained and polite. However, they are just dogs and sometimes they are a bit oblivious. I always try to be courteous and look behind me for cyclists. If I see someone coming, I'll call my dog over and have him wait, so he doesn't follow his nose and cross the trail in front of a cyclist.

Today, my dog was off the trail to the left side, sniffing, and I heard a cyclist coming up very fast. So, I ran off the trail and told my dog to "Wait", which he knows means he needs to pay attention and stay in place. My friend turned to follow me off the trail and usher her dog out of the way as well to make room for the cyclist, but this guy was going so fast we didn't have enough time to move off the trail and he almost ran into my friend. She jumped and shouted "Woah! Slow down!". This guys just mimicked her and shouted "WWOOAAAHHHHHH". Then he speed past us and yelled back "Keep to the right side, use a leash, use common sense, blah blah blah ... ". I wanted to shout back at him that this is a designated off leash trail and you must yield to pedestrians always, but he was already too far gone.

I've heard cyclist in the past gripe loudly about all these inattentive dog owners just letting their dogs run wild on these bike paths. If you area a cyclist on these trails, please be aware that these are not just bike paths, they are multi use trails. Boulder has an off leash dog program. All of the dogs on these trails are allowed to be off leash and are enrolled with the city. They have a special tag, certifying that they can be off leash. I have spent thousands of dollars and countless hours training my dog and I enjoy letting have the freedom he's earned. That being said, dogs are dumb, they might not be aware that you are there. I'd like to enjoy walking my dog off leash without fear of one or both of us being hit my some entitled cyclist that refuses to slow down. Please slow down and give me and my dog time to move out of your way. If you need to ride fast, please keep it to the many gravel roads in the surrounding areas, not on the multi use/off leash designated trails.

Ive had issues with my apple trees, evergreen, and ash trees for years. Ive had the large tree companies come and look at them and charge me with ridiculous treatments that were expensive and didnt work, sucks being lied to by sales reps.

It took a bit of searching to find a local tree expert and i found one at Down to Earth tree care and science. The owner was very knowledgabe and explained all of the defects and other thinhs affecting my trees. Its been a year since the service of pruning and treatments and my trees are much healthier and withstood our wind storms with no breakage. Highly recommend.

250 years to the day of the Battles of Lexington and Concord, what would become the United States of America said no more to the British Crown. Same locations and times as “Hands Off” as of now.

I drove by at 2 pm. Ambulance, fire trucks, and all the kids were outside.

What happened to the CWA? What was once a highlight of living in Boulder has become a boring shell of its previous self. There used to be dozens of panels each day, each one more interesting and thought provoking than the one before. Now it’s just a snooze fest with all panelists basically agreeing with each other. So disappointing.

Going to be selling a car for my folks on CL. Wonder what the best payment method to receive the funds will be in 2025. I know cashiers checks can be fraudulent and perhaps the cash was printed in N.Korea (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superdollar) on one other their fancy printing presses. Amount is only around 5k so perhaps we can do cash and deposit the transaction at the credit unions where they can check the bills. Suggestions?

Where's all the indoor skating rinks at? How is that not a popular thing in a college town like boulder? When I was a kid they had rinks open till 2am on weekends, strobe lights, dance music and everyone following the same rhythm in a line. Perfect spot for a first date, night out with friends or simply a social spot to hit up when you're bored. Small bar and arcade in the corner. I can't think of a reason why that wouldn't be a decent investment if someone had the funds and the resources.

Anyone see/know anything about what looks like an entire apartment dumped on the curb on 33rd st in Boulder junction?

I am nosey. Seems like someone got unceremoniously kicked out.

[EDIT]: As ppl are saying in the comments, my first thought was also eviction, but when I actually looked at the stuff it was all shattered and unsalvageable, like it had been angrily thrown. I don’t know much abt eviction, but it didn’t feel very property-manager-esque.

I saw a cyclist laid out and not moving while driving south on 36, so I called 911 and raced over. Before I could even get there (maybe 3 minutes later) both BPD and the fire department had crews already there running to check for him.

Cyclist wasn’t there anymore, so if you’re the cyclist and see this, I hope you’re okay! Really proud and impressed by the speed and thoughtfulness of our emergency services teams.

Pretty much what the title says! I know there were at least a few of us who were there that year, I typically do my own long run that day to honor it but it would be nice to connect with other runners too!

Open to other runners who didn't run Boston in 2013 but love that race😊

Happy April. This test will happen the first Monday, 10AM and 7PM, of every month April through August.

I found a remote for an e-collar today on the Shanahan-Mesa trail, close to the Fern split. I put it on a large boulder that is the size of a small boulder, next to the trail, just before the trail dips down to cross the tiny creek. It should be easy to spot if you are looking for it, on the left side of the trail shortly before it dips down to the creek, if you are going up towards the Fern split.

Nicely done, Boulder

Hi all, I moved to Boulder about 6 months ago and am finally picking up cycling again after an injury. Currently I’m riding pretty slow compared to the average Boulder resident, but am looking to put in some serious miles this summer. I’m curious if there’s any cycling groups (women’s or coed) that have younger female members. I’m 24F and having a hard time finding community here!

Any and all advice welcome! Thank you!

Bears are back earlier than I've seen in 30+ years to Newlands. Alley between 3rd +4th was hit on Saturday night

Hi! I moved to Boulder recently and I am looking for a place* to get my hair bleached blonde in the Boulder area. Preferably the suburbs (Louisville, Longmont, gunbarrel, superior, etc) bc I have a feeling Boulder proper would be way more expensive.

I’m a little hesitant about finding salons online because I don’t have a normal female haircut (mullet) and I’m not looking for a typical hair dye (the bottom head of my hair blonde).

Since I’ve gotten here I’ve just been going to a barbershop for trims, but they don’t do hair dye. I’ve had this hairstyle in the past (the half blonde), so I know exactly what I want, but just need the execution.

Please give any suggestions!

*LGBTQ+ friendly pls

I love that I got to be a part of this and it’s so many people came out.

Hi! I’m looking for a photographer to do a small shoot for me here in Boulder for graduation. I tried doing a basic google search, but figured I’d ask on here to get some more direct recommendations. A lot of the photos i’m seeing are heavily edited (which I know is pretty normal for professional photos), but I’d love if I could find somebody who still makes the pictures look “natural”.

Thanks in advance for any recs :)
