Becoming a Bicycle Friendly Community
Regional Bicycle Friendly Community Workshop
The League of American Bicyclists has a program to designate a community as a "Bicycle Friendly Community" (BFC) if it meets certain criteria.
The cities of Shawnee, Kan. and Kansas City, Mo. and the regional Bicycle/Pedestrian Advisory Committee invite you to learn about the benefits of this designation and how your community can work towards becoming bicycle friendly. The program includes both a policy overview and technical guidance.
Trek Bicycles is a sponsor of the event.
