There are two steps to applying for Bicycle Friendly Community status.

First, complete and submit Part 1 of the Application online. After a review of your general community profile, the League will inform you if you have met some of the basic criteria required.

Step 2 Part 2 is a detailed audit of the engineering, education, encouragement, enforcement and evaluation efforts in your municipality. This comprehensive inquiry is designed to yield a holistic picture of your community's work to promote bicycling. Technical assistance for completing Part 2 is available.

You and other bicyclists in the community can bring this program, particularly the application, to your mayor or county council to initiate positive change in your neighborhood.

To be included in the next review cycle and possibly join those communities earning the award, submit both Part 1 and Part 2 of the Bicycle Friendly Community application by August 7, 2009. There are two application deadlines per year, one in March and the other in August.
