Congratulations to Alexandria for becoming a Silver-level Bicycle Friendly Community, up from Bronze last year, and matching next-door neighbor Arlington.
Five other Virginia communities have been designated Bicycle Friendly by the League of American Bicyclists: Charlottesville with Silver; and Richmond, Roanoke and Williamsburg with Bronze. Now Reston is Bronze this year too.
Many thanks to the Alexandria Bike-Ped Advisory Committee and the city’s Local Motion program for their ongoing efforts: lately, on a new bridge over Holmes Run to Fairfax, and replacing street parking with bike lanes on King St.
Here’s the complete list of 2013 Bicycle Friendly Communities. See how Virginia compares with the rest of the US:
