Bike Leans - Public Art Mural

Tweet

It all makes sense now. There are art murals all along the Cherry Creek Trail that runs through the Denver, Colorado Metro Area. Denver Public Art says that if you walk or ride your bike for an 11-mile stretch, you’ll see 48 murals on the walls. That’s my gravel bike, Agent Gravel, leaning up against one. (There are a few sculptures included in that 48 count, as well.) Many of the murals have been around for quite a while, some are from last year. I know this because last September, on one of our Sunday Project Hero rides, we rode past a string of artists painting murals. Now I know why! They were painting murals for an event called Wall Fest 2025. The idea behind Wall Fest was to celebrate local talent while creating a visual experience along the path. Spray paint art, brush art, people, animals, nature, it’s all on display on the trail. There’s still a lot of room on those walls, though. And Denver can never have enough public art. Nothing has been announced, but here’s hoping for Wall Fest 2026! Link is to a local news story about Wall Fest 2025:
