Be kind to your bicyclist: bicycle friendly community campaign - Tip-Off - Brief Article

Parks & Recreation, Jan, 2003

The League of American Bicyclists recently launched its Bicycle Friendly Community Campaign, a national grassroots effort to increase the number of trips made by bike, promote physical fitness and help make communities more livable. The campaign is supported by a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

The League recognizes newly designated bicycle-friendly communities with an awards ceremony, a bicycle-friendly community road sign and a formal press announcement. Municipalities that apply for bicycle-friendly community status receive technical assistance to help improve cycling conditions and encourage residents to bike for fun, fitness and transportation.
