We’re glad to be at the district meeting tonight! So cool to hear the kids and staff from getting ready to recite the pledge of allegiance in English and Spanish! We’re here to support the boundary changes proposed for the Owyhee students who are moving to Hawthorne and Hillcrest Elementary Schools. It’s important to us to have routes designed to be safe when walking, biking, and driving too. Let’s make sure to watch for each other out there!

Yo, Parents and youth! Have an e-bike? Do you know how to operate it safely? We’re seeing too many young people operating e bikes and scooters without proper training. We’re going to be offering a new e bike/scooter safety class very soon and we want you in it.

Send us a message if you’d like to learn more! We are in no way affiliated with Lime bikes, photo for illustrative purposes only.

Really could use some help on Saturday night. I know there’s a lot going on, just a few hours of your time is all I need. Volunteers matter to me, and as a volunteer for this event myself, I know how hard it can be. I’d be eternally grateful for any time you can lend. I’ll be at this event for every shift of each day… as a volunteer.

Love working with the students on real bike skills! We’re at for two weeks, working on true bike skills and it’s great! So many student comments about learning maintenance as well as on bike skills. Simply raising your seat makes for a better ride!

Let’s do this! School starts in just a few days and we know you care, so look twice, yield, and follow traffic laws. It’s easy!

Soon, the familiar sights and sounds of school buses will be part of morning routines again. Let’s go over a quick refresher – when it’s required to stop for a school bus.

🛑On any road with three or fewer lanes, vehicles traveling in both directions must stop.

🛑On a road with four or more lanes, vehicles traveling in the same direction as the bus must stop. ⚠️Those traveling in the opposite direction can proceed with extreme caution.

Keep our students safe and be an engaged driver. 🚌

We are serious about educating our youth on road safety and long term healthy activities. In the past 24 hours we’ve been at a bike rodeo at for the first time, and Lisa is now at the Idaho State Driver Education conference in Pocatello. There is no end to education needs for safety on our Idaho roads and it’s a true honor to present bike and pedestrian safety to the actual teachers today!

What a great way to end the week ! We gave away lots of helmets this week and lots of high fives! We were also at on Monday and Tuesday, plus on Wednesday! We appreciate every single school, teacher, and student we work with and thank you for continuing to partner with us to bring bike, walk, and roll safety to your students. matters! On a much more serious note, we are heartbroken to hear of another child victim of traffic violence. Please, please, look for and give space to people walking and biking. You will save a life, if you look.

UPDATE: Unfortunately, work has been delayed on this project. Instead of initial completion in early April, it is now estimated to be completed in late April.

A Greenbelt closure started on Monday, January 29 near the Lander Street Water Renewal Facility and Veterans Memorial Parkway. The project includes the replacement of sewer lines in the area. Because the work involves the path, the Greenbelt will be closed and a detour will be posted and signed around the project area. Please stay out of the closed area for your safety. The project is estimated to be completed by the end of April.
Thanks for your cooperation as the work is completed!

We’ve got a job opening in Boise. We’re looking for an energetic, dynamic, not afraid to speak in public, person who is willing to walk the walk and talk the talk. We have fun, we have downtime, we get stressed, we get happy, we ride to as many events as possible, and we like teaching youth a lifelong skill and to be safe while doing it.
