The Guide To North Idaho

07/31/2026

It's summertime, and we're seeing more people out enjoying Post Falls parks, pathways, sidewalks, and streets on all types of electric bikes and motorized vehicles.

Did you know that not every electric two-wheeled vehicle is considered an e-bike?

One of the biggest differences is whether the vehicle has factory-installed pedals. Vehicles with pedals may qualify as e-bikes, while those without pedals are generally classified differently and are subject to different rules and restrictions.

We've put together this quick guide to help residents understand the difference between e-bikes and e-motorcycles so everyone can ride safely, responsibly, and in the right places.

Understanding the rules helps keep our parks, pathways, sidewalks, and streets safe and enjoyable for everyone who uses them.

Take a moment to review the graphic and share it with family members, especially young riders. A little awareness goes a long way toward keeping our community safe this summer. ☀️🚲

We are very excited to introduce our 2027 race director for the Coeur d’ Fondo, Diego Olivieri! Which does mean the Fondo will not happen in 2026. The lack of time to make it happen will give our race director more time to make 2027 an amazing year.
Diego Olivieri is an endurance coach, athlete, and dedicated member of the North Idaho community with a passion for promoting health, connection, and outdoor recreation. A former swimmer and water polo player, Diego was drawn to endurance sports in pursuit of a new challenge—an experience that continues to shape his approach to coaching and event leadership today.
As the founder of Delta 3 Coaching and former owner of the CDA Triathlon Team, Diego has spent over 30 years helping athletes of all abilities build confidence and pursue personal goals. His experience also includes organizing youth running events and serving as the Lead Swim Coach for the Air Force Wounded Warrior Program, where he supports adaptive athletes in their recovery and performance journeys.
For Diego, the CDA Fondo represents more than just a ride—it’s an opportunity for cyclists of all ages and ability levels to come together, experience the beauty of North Idaho, and give back to the community. As Race Director, he is committed to delivering a well-organized, welcoming, and memorable event that offers something for everyone—from first-time riders to those seeking a true personal challenge—while supporting the mission of the North Idaho Centennial Trail. Stay tuned for updates !!

The Guide to North Idaho has a new face, and he's got antlers.
Meet Huckleberry, Huck for short. He's got a soft spot for berry season and showed up just as the hillsides turned purple. He doesn't mind getting his hooves muddy, and has strong opinions about which lake is best for a summer afternoon swim (he won't say which — you'll have to ask him yourself). Over the next while, he'll be the one showing you the trails, the water, and the little corners of North Idaho worth exploring.
