Custom Kristin Armstrong "Green Bike" for Rent

Renting a Boise Green Bike modeled after Kristin Armstrong's Olympic bicycle will also give to a good cause. As the wind is blowing through your hair, wave at everyone you pass because they know you're a great human being.

Boise Green Bike allows anyone to rent bikes and ride through the city. They just unveiled a black Green Bike that is modeled after her Olympic bike.

During the year, ever time the black Armstrong bike is rented, $1 is donated to the Kristin Armstrong Youth Scholarship Fund.
