Midnight Criterium cycling race in downtown!
Andrea and I watched the Midnight Criterium cycling race as they screamed through downtown.

First time out riding on Boise’s Greenbelt near our Apartment and also the first time we’ve been on our bikes since winter!

Soon we’ll be riding around town on your bikes. I mean, our bikes.
Boise needs BikeBoom!
I can’t believe the bike culture here in Boise. This place feels like a tiny little LA- with all but 10% of the cars taken away, bike lanes galore and the same thriving bike community.
Walking through Boise on my first day here, I was amazed at all the cyclists cruising through the city. All sorts of people on all sorts of bikes: college students on cheap mountain bikes, kids on color-matched fixed gear bikes, moms and dads on italian road bikes, expensive mountain bikes!
Outside a bar in an area called the “Basque Quarter” (spanish families moved here long ago) I saw a fixed gear bike with a “Midnight Ridazz Boise” spokecard! I’d say any city that has a costumed bike ride through the downtown area at midnight has something to offer.
I think I’m going to check and see if other people are interested in creating a Boise Bike Calendar like Los Angelenos have at www.bikeboom.com.
