Bicycle Friendly
Communities B
icycling is great for everyone involved – states, communities, businesses and people. It promotes active lifestyles, productive citizens and employees, reduces traffic congestion and improves air quality; and most importantly, bicycling creates fun and vibrant places to live and work. The following lists are of all current Bicycle Friendly Communities, Business and States (as of February 1, 2011). We hope they will serve as recognition for the existing members, inspiration for people just beginning the journey, and excitement for everyone watching our progress toward a Bicycle Friendly America. For more information on a particular community, business or state, visit www. bikeleague.org or email bfa@bikeleague.org.
