Washington, DC - Five cities across the United States can celebrate Bike to Work Week with the news that the League of American Bicyclists has awarded them the coveted designation of "Bicycle Friendly Community." The award, given at levels from Bronze to Platinum, recognizes those communities that are improving conditions for bicyclists and bicycling.
Five cities are awarded the BFC designation for the first time:
Silver
Austin, Texas San Luis Obispo, Calif.
Bronze
LaCrosse, Wis. Park City, Utah Salt Lake City, Utah
Fifteen communities successfully renewed their designation.
Gold
Corvallis, Ore.

Ada County Highway District, Idaho Ann Arbor, Mich. Beaverton, Ore. Bend, Ore. Burlington, Vt. Cary, N.C. Chico, Calif. Denver, Colo. Mesa, Ariz. Redmond, Wash. Schaumburg, Ill. Shawnee, Kan.
"We salute these communities for their tremendous commitment to improving conditions for bicyclists," said Andy Clarke, executive director of the League of American Bicyclists. "They are making the streets safer for bicycling, educating bicyclists and motorists to share the road, promoting a wide range of bicycling activities and even stepping up the enforcement of traffic laws to protect bicyclists."
Notable features of this round of applications include:
Austin, Texas recently updated their 1998 bicycle plan, and included $2 million in bicycle-specific funding. The city offers weekly Road I courses, has a maintenance hotline, and promotes bicycling year round.
San Luis Obispo, Calif. has a strong cycling culture and recently created a safe and fast route into downtown from the south side of town, allowing cyclists to avoid a high-volume, narrow right-of-way arterial.
LaCrosse, Wis. has a strong education program. All schools have extracurricular activities centered around cycling, and the school district provides bicycles and helmets for use at elementary schools.
Park City, Utah is a great town for mountain bicyclists, and understands the importance of connectivity in the bike network. The community also has a Complete Streets policy that will be implemented starting this year.
Salt Lake City, Utah has a great bicycle culture and a strong Complete Streets policy that was initiated by the mayor in January 2007. With improvements planned for its cycling infrastructure and great in-town mountain biking, this city has a lot to offer cyclists.

Chatted with some mountain bikers on Saturday evening. These trails are really getting dry.
Spiro is clear to the top and there are still a few snow patches on Mid Mountain but with these record setting temperatures and brilliant sunshine it won't be long til it is open all the way through.
