Bicycle Friendly Missouri
Missouri is home to a growing number of Bicycle Friendly Communities and Bicycle Friendly Businesses, national designations awarded by the League of American Bicyclists.
Over 1.4 million Missourians now live an officially designated Bicycle Friendly Community.
If you would like to have your community, business, or university officially recognized as Bicycle Friendly, visit the Bicycle Friendly America web site for application materials and more information. If you want your community to become more bicycle friendly, starting to work towards bicycle friendly designation is a great place to start.
Looking for a sample application? The St. Louis City Bicycle Friendly Community application from 2009 is an excellent and comprehensive example.

Do you have a bicycle-friendly business in your community? Encouraging them to apply for the national designation is great way to recognize a supportive business and for the business to publicize themselves to an attractive demographic. Nominate a business in your community.
Is your community bicycle friendly? MoBikeFed is actively working with local communities to apply for and receive the BFC designation. Contact us to learn more about your community can get involved.
