Boise Bicycle Project

Hey there BBP community! With all of the hubbub around Open Streets Boise and our October Membership Drive, we are reminding you last minute that FEM Night is happening TONIGHT, October 2nd, from 6 - 8 PM in our shop.

We’re going to have 14 awesome prizes from HANDUP that we’ll be giving away! Lost Grove Brewing - La Pointe will generously be providing free b**r at this FEM Night, and we encourage you to bring your bike and a dish to share!

FEM Night is our way to create a safe space for women and folks in the LGBTQ+ community to learn bike mechanics. If you’re not part of this group, we invite you to check out additional shop classes and events on our calendar at boisebicycleproject.org/calendar

Join us during our October Membership Drive! 🍂

During October, BBP members can save 30% on recycled parts, project bikes, and bike frames, along with their usual 20% off refurbished bikes and 10% off new parts and accessories. 

Custom BBP swag will be given to those who sign up, renew, gift, or upgrade their membership during the month of October during our November members-only party! Current members will also be able to purchase this surprise swag after the membership drive in November. 

Membership starts at just $9/month, or $100 per year! We also have membership types for everyone, including reduced-rate memberships for $6/month or $70 per year, and discounts for families, students, teachers, healthcare workers, military, first responders, librarians, and seniors.

Your membership also unlocks year-round perks like mechanic-assisted stand time, pre-scheduled shop appointments, and discounts on shop inventory - bikes & parts! More information on membership & our October drive is available at boisebicycleproject.org/membership or by using the link in our bio.

Hey! We hope you’ll join us at Open Streets Boise TODAY from 12-5 PM on W Catalpa Dr!

We have five bike bus meetup locations if you want to ride to the event together, with the earliest meetup time starting at 10:45 AM. More info on how to ride the bike bus, where to meet, and all of our event information can be found at boisebicycleproject.org/open-streets-boise

Open Streets Boise wouldn’t be possible without support from the City of Boise, partnership with the Collister Neighborhood Association, and support from our sponsors!

Our shop will be closed this Saturday, September 19th! As our team gears up for Open Streets Boise, we're going to make sure to get some rest before the big week leading up to it. We will be open this Thursday and Friday, and then will resume regular business hours on Wednesday, September 23rd, from 11 AM to 6 PM. Thank you for your understanding!

Last Wednesday, we were thrilled to host a bike audit in the Collister Neighborhood with support from the AARP before Open Streets Boise!��A team of BBP volunteers, neighborhood representatives, safe streets advocates, and policymakers (special thanks to ACHD Commission President Gold for attending!) came together to observe critical neighborhood intersections during drive-time traffic.��As an ongoing part of our Open Streets campaign, we seek to partner with our host neighborhoods to help organize conversations around their concerns for safety in their neighborhood and dreams for infrastructure in their streets to leave behind a safer community.��Keep an eye out for further surveys in the neighborhood, come talk with us at Open Streets Boise on September 27th about these efforts, and save the date to join our Advocacy meeting on November 18th to learn more about our findings!
