A Denver company has announced a partnership with Denver B-cycle, a bike sharing program.

Sage Hospitality, which employs 600 people fulltime at six downtown Denver hotels, including the Courtyard at Marriot, The Curtis, and the Oxford, will purchase annual bike sharing membership for all full-time employees.

Denver B-cycle has 500 B-cycles located at 50 stations throughout the city. Users can check out a bike at one station and check it in at any of the 50 stations throughout the city.

And hotel guests can check out B-cycle, too. Starting on Memorial Day, guests at the six downtown hotels can purchase a discounted 24-hour Denver B-cycle access pass at the front desk, and explore Denver by bike. Free access passes will be a part of several summer promotions, too.

The Oxford Hotel’s Spokes and Suds package includes accommodations, in-room microbrew upon arrival, overnight valet parking, an all-day B-Cycle pass, picnic lunch for two, and luggage storage. For more information, go to The Oxford Hotel, Sage Hospitality and Denver B-cycle.
