Bicycle Community
The 5 E's of cycling (Engineering, Encouragement, Education, Enforcement, Evaluation & Planning) are the indicators of Bicycle Friendly Community. Work within each of these categories will help transform Boise into a Platinum Level Bicycle Friendly Community by 2020. These are the organizations making it happen.
