League Announces Bike Friendly Communities

The League of American Bicyclists has announced 18 new Bicycle Friendly Communities (BFC) and eight renewing BFCs. This round is especially rewarding because the League is also launching their new Bicycle Friendly University program, which is modeled after the BFC program. “The most exciting thing about this round of awards was seeing communities that had implemented past feedback, improved their communities, and achieved a Bicycle Friendly Community designation,” said Andy Clarke, League president.

North Carolina ranks 25th out of 50. Carrboro, North Carolina moved from a Bronze to Silver designation. Click here to learn more and to see where your state ranks.

One Million Voices

Bikes Belong recently launched a new effort to unite one million voices to improve bicycling in the United States. It simply asks people to sign a pledge in support of biking. The campaign is called Peopleforbikes.org, and the goal is to help make our nation a better place to ride by sending a powerful message to our elected leaders, the media, and the public that bicycling is important and should be promoted.

I have signed the pledge. To date, more than 90,000 people across the country have signed the pledge, including Lance Armstrong, Gary Fisher, and bike-friendly Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak.

So please take a moment to visit the website and sign the pledge. It is quick and easy. You will help the future of biking and ultimately you will be enhancing the work of the League. All the campaign needs is your name and email address: www.peopleforbikes.org/signpledge

Great Bicycling Blog!

Lovely Bicycle. One of the best blogs about the love of bicycling I have seen. Sound sensible advice about buying and caring and riding your bicycle.


"Entirely frivolous and self-indulgent, this weblog has no agenda. I like cycling and I like beautiful bicycles - particularly classic and vintage bicycles with lugged steel frames."
