Just a word to the wise. If you're opposed to transportation by
automobile for religious or ecological or Luddite or whatever reasons,
you're in the wrong city. The Denver metro area is too spread out for
sensible public transit ever to be economically feasible beyond the
core city area. Even if you live in an area with good service and work
downtown (I did that for a few years), you have to sacrifice too much
of your life riding (or more likely standing) transit. No stopping off
to do a half dozen errands or a CLUE meeting on the way home.
