THE BIKE COMMUTERS | Joy Ride

Bicycles are the epitome of human-powered transportation. Two-wheels, the wind on your face and the ability to get to work using your own body’s strength to do so. Idahoans commute for a number of reasons; from saving money on gas to avoiding traffic jams to getting a blast of fresh air before the day begins. In this piece you’ll meet Twin Falls bike shop owner Nate Rioux, who commutes in agriculture country, from Filer to Twin Falls every day – riding by farm animals and crops, he believes bike commuting is a way of getting in touch with your environment. We’ll also hear from Lee Wyman, in Nampa, Idaho who started commuting just to see if he could and now he can’t get enough of it.
