If you�re headed to Denver this summer and you hate walking, then Southwest Airlines is your new best friend. The airline that shows a little too much love for checked baggage is teaming up with Mile High Pedicabs to offer free rides to plenty of events in and around the city for the next six months.

In total you�ll be able to hitch a ride to around 20 events including baseball games at Coors Field. Be on the lookout for 25 pedal-powered vehicles fully decked out in Southwest colors, stickers and flags on the back promising free rides. Just make sure you tip your driver, and do so even more if it�s especially hot out.

The airline is also showing more love for the Mile High City by sponsoring movies and concerts at the city�s Skyline Park throughout July and August. Some of the concerts are on Fridays during lunchtime, so if there�s ever a good time to take an extended lunch break from the office this is probably it. If you do make it the movies on Saturday nights, be sure to stake out a spot near the Denver Cupcake Truck, as Southwest is also footing the bill for 250 free cupcakes per movie.

Southwest has shown plenty of love for New York City in the past, but it looks like Denver might just be the airline�s newest crush.
