- Advocating for expanded and improved bikeway networks, including more protected bike lanes.
- Enhancing bicycle safety education for all ages.
- Encouraging more people to choose cycling for transportation and recreation.
- Collaborating with local organizations and residents to create a welcoming cycling environment.
2021 Score card

What Is the Bicycle Friendly (BFC) Program?
The BFC program helps communities improve cycling conditions across five areas: Equity & Accessibility, Engineering, Education, Encouragement, and Evaluation & Planning – Learn more about the League’s 5 Es. Achieving a higher status means better bike infrastructure, more safety programs, and a stronger cycling culture.
