About us

We are Nampa citizens who began meeting in July 2007 for the purpose of making Nampa a bicycle and
pedestrian friendly community through encouragement, education, enforcement, and engineering. We are
advocates for the use of cycling and walking for transportation, recreation, and health and serve as a
liaison between city leadership and its residents for these issues.

Monthly meetings are open to the public and take place on the 2nd Tuesday of every month at 7:00 p.m. in
the upstairs conference room of the Flying M Coffee Garage, 1314 2nd Street, Nampa, Idaho.

We are a 501c3 non-profit organization. If you wish to donate, please contact us. Your support helps to
fund local events that promote cycling and walking, local trail construction, and communications to keep
citizens informed about the issues.

We commend you for wanting to be involved as an advocate for Nampa’s bicycle and pedestrian
improvements. As with any grassroots effort, patience and “critical mass” is important when it comes to
making changes in a community, and everyone’s effort adds up to make a difference.

Keep riding and walking and leave your car at home! Set a good example with safe practices and it
will inspire others to do the same.
