Bicycle Friendly State rankings released
Somehow Virginia jumped 5 places in the bicycle friendly state rankings recently released by the League of American Bicyclists. Virginia is now ranked 18th. Even though the three feet to pass bill failed this year, Virginia is tied for 6th in the Legislation category. We are dead last in Enforcement: "The Enforcement section the BFS questionnaire gathers data on the types of training law enforcement officers and traffic court judges receive to ensure protection of cyclists' rights to the road and safe travel on our shared roadways." Looks like we've got some work to do educating police and judges.Labels: bicycle friendly state, league of american bicyclists
