With the weather soon to change from cooler temperatures to warmer ones, the City will see a boom in outdoor activities. One of the most popular ones in the Treasure Valley is bringing out the old bike and riding it around town.Boise has even made new laws making it easier for those who enjoy the alternative ways of getting around safer with designated bike lanes. For those though who don't have the bikes there is still a way to enjoy everything the City of Trees has to offer.

I am not an avid biker, but I do love occasionally jumping on one and enjoying a warm spring days ride around Downtown Boise. Boise Green Bike  provides a new mobile option for sharing bikes to help reduce traffic congestion all while helping out the environment. It's all about Bike Sharing. With a fleet of 114 bikes ready to go it really is a simple and amazing system. Only 4 steps to follow to reserve the bike you need to start your adventure.

1. Reserve-Find a bike and location hub that you want to pick up the bike via there mobile app.

2.Release- Once at the hub place in a 4 digit pin. This will release the bike and you are fee to pick it up and start your day.

3.Ride-If you notice while you are riding anything wrong with the bike there is a feature that lets the company know that repairs need to happen so the next person can ride problem free.

4.Return.To end the trip lock you bike up in a hub or rack that you have found on the mobile app and continue on your day.

Every one of these bikes are made by New York Company Social Bicycles with the latest tracking technology. I love their motto of the company "Movie Boise Forward". With the rest of the country now taking an even closer look at our city this is just another reason why we are so lucky to live here. -JD
