The League of American Bicyclists on Wednesday September 24 announced the recipients of the 2008 Bicycle Friendly Community Awards - http://www.bikeleague.org/news/092408bfc.php.

The City of Rochester and Monroe County of New York State were sited as honorable mention.

The League awards a four-year designation to communities that have made impressive, measurable efforts to integrate bicyclists into the community. There are four levels—platinum, gold, silver and bronze—awarded twice each year.

The League’s Mission is to promote bicycling for fun, fitness and transportation and work through advocacy and education for a bicycle-friendly America.

This is the first year the Rochester Bicycling Club has applied for designation on behalf of the City of Rochester and Monroe County.
