Washington is the BEST Bike State!
Wash. tops bike friendly state list
In honor of the first day of Bike to Work Month, the League of American Bicyclists has released its latest Bicycle Friendly State ranking. Washington comes in first, followed by Colorado, and then Oregon. North Dakota finished last.
This is the sixth year in a row that Washington has topped the list. The ranking takes in factors such as legislation and enforcement, infrastructure and funding, policies and programs, and education and encouragement.
“We are encouraged to see significant progress in top states like Washington, Delaware, Colorado and Oregon,” said Andy Clarke, president of the League of American Bicyclists. “But as the scores clearly highlight, there’s much work to be done in critical areas like infrastructure and planning in every state.”
