LaRita Schandorff stands in front of the Nampa Bicycle Project downtown.

The Boise Bicycle Project has a new friend in the Treasure Valley. The Nampa Bicycle Project is up and running and is now fully established as a 501(c)3 non-profit. 

The NBP was inspired in part by its Boise counterpart, which focuses on getting bikes to kids. But in Nampa, founder LaRita Schandorff and her team quickly noticed a different need in the community: adults were asking for bikes to get to work and essential services. Schandorff joins Idaho Matters live to talk more about this.
