Congratulations - It's Time to Celebrate!
The League of American Bicyclists announced today that Baltimore was named a Bronze Level Bicycle Friendly Community! This award is presented only to communities with remarkable commitments to bicycling. One Less Car is very proud of this announcement! A huge pat on the back goes out to Nate Evans, Baltimore's Bicycle and Pedestrian Planner, for his tremendous efforts to create a truly Bicycle Friendly Community.
Nate's response to the award, "After two Honorable Mention awards, Baltimore joins the ranks of Philadelphia, Washington DC & Charlotte as a bronze level bike friendly community. To put it in perspective, Portland is platinum, San Francisco & Seattle are gold, and Chicago & Arlington, VA are silver. We still have a long way to go, but as a community of cyclists, we can become even more bike friendly! Thanks to everyone who helped bring this award to B’more!"
