The city of Madison has been recertified as a platinum-level Bicycle Friendly Community by the League of American Bicyclists. Every four years, the city is required to apply to continue to be designated as a Bicycle Friendly Community, and since 2015 Madison has received a platinum designation. This designation recognizes the city for its continuing commitment to safe transportation and better bicycling for residents of all ages and abilities.
This round of Bicycle Friendly Community awards includes 58 new and renewing awardees, joining a total of 480 current Bicycle Friendly Communities in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The platinum designation recognizes Madison for its growing network of bike paths and lanes and recognizes the city’s bike friendly policies. The designation would not be possible without the activities and events supported by local community organizations supporting youth bike education, offering free bike repair opportunities, organizing the annual Bike Week events, and holding rides and events throughout the year in Madison.
