Reston recognized as Bronze Bicycle Friendly Community
"One of the great challenges in envisioning a truly bicycle-friendly America is the need to transform suburban communities," said Andy Clarke, President of the League of American Bicyclists. "Well, that transformation is evidently underway and is being lead by communities like Menlo Park, Calif.; Elmhurst, Ill.; Reston, Va.; and Richfield, Minn."

I can't help but toot Reston's horn -- all of those other communities mentioned in VA are cities or counties, and thus have much more authority than Reston does to effect change. We are an HOA, so have little power...but we're making the best of the situation we have and the LAB has recognized that. Good job, Reston!!!
