Ten new communities were honored with the League of American Bicyclists prestigious Bicycle Friendly Community designation…none of with were located in the state of Georgia. The city of Roswell remains to be the only city in Georgia to achieve this designation.
The five categories local and national reviewers look at are:
Education: Does the community have systems in place to train children and adult cyclists?
Engineering: Are bicyclists included in the city’s transportation plan?
Enforcement: Do police officers understand and enforce bicyclists’ rights and responsibilities?
Encouragement: Does the community participate in Bike Month, offer bike rodeos, host community bike rides, or otherwise encourage cycling?
Evaluation: Does the community have methods in place to ensure their bicyclist programs are making a difference?
Roswell is one of only 19 communities nationwide that renewed their bicycle friendly status.
