League Announces ’09 Bike Friendly Areas

WASHINGTON, D.C. (BRAIN)—The League of American Bicyclists has announced its 2009 spring Bicycle Friendly Communities and States in celebration of Bike Month 2009, starting May 1.

The League is recognizing 13 new Bicycle Friendly Communities and three BFC renewals. Notably, five states have their first BFC designations: Cedar Falls, Iowa; Columbia, Missouri; Tulsa, Oklahoma.; Columbus, Ohio; and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Philadelphia and Columbus add to the League’s roster of metropolitan cities east of the Mississippi River to become a BFC, proving that the nation—not just the west coast—is growing increasingly aware of the benefits of becoming more bicycle-friendly.
