Congratulations to Urbana on becoming a “Gold” level Bicycle Friendly Community and to Normal on being designated a “Bronze” level Bicycle Friendly Community (BFC)!

The League of American Bicyclists (LAB) announced this morning the latest round of BFC’s, which included 55 new and renewing communities and means that there are now BFC’s in every state.

Illinois now has a total of nine Bicycle Friendly Communities! Urbana is our first “Gold” level community, which had previously been awarded a “Bronze” designation. Chicago and Evanston are both “Silver” level BFC’s and Batavia, Champaign, Evanston, Naperville, Normal and Schaumburg have all been awarded “Bronze” BFC designation by the League of American Bicyclists.

For more information on LAB’s Bicycle Friendly Community program, including information on how to become a BFC, visit the League of American Bicyclists website. LIB is available to advise towns that seek to gain this status. For more information, contact us.
