Get ready for another mass of Bikes taking over the city streets. Boise Bike Week is back May 14th through the 21st. 

Not only is Biking to work a safe and healthy alternative to driving every day, Boise has earned some national Kudo's as being ranked in the Top 20 "Greenest Cities In The US" this past year. During Boise Bike Week expect to see families galore riding and learning bike safety together. There are so many events around the city during the week and it kicks of this week for the pre-funk. Volunteers for such events as Bike Counts, where you will learn why locals are riding there bikes to work and where the most traffic is coming from. Or you can pitch in during Idaho Walk Bike Summit. This all before the official kick off to Bike Week this coming Saturday.  If you've always wanted to dabble in the world of BMX then this is your time. Or maybe you have aspirations of becoming a police officer AND rid your bike. This is the beauty of Bike Week.

I am super excited about this. My family and I have always wanted to get together and bike around this city. And now that we are all feeling 100% better this will be a great outing for us, and we'd love to see some of you out there as well.

For a full list of events happening during Boise Bike Week 2016 follow along with them on Facebook, and online HERE.  I also found a really great article about the benefits this week has on the community in ThisIsBoise.Com - JD
