Lawrence, Kansas, receives LAB's bicycle-friendly community award

Lawrence, Kansas, has become the second Kansas community to receive the League of American Bicyclists prestigious Bicycle Friendly Community designation (at the bronze level). Shawnee, Kansas, recently received the same recognition.

Now, when is a Missouri city going to receive this recognition?

Andy Clarke, Executive Director of the League, said, "Communities designated by the League as Bicycle Friendly have completed a rigorous application and review process (just 44 of the 98 applicants have been granted the BFC award). More importantly, they have shown themselves willing to invest in creating a better, more livable environment for their citizens. BFCs typically enjoy levels of bicycle use that are well above the national average and consequently they are reaping the rewards of cleaner air, less congestion, safer streets, and a more active and healthy population.
