College Station “Bicycle Friendly” – Be Heard!

The City of College Station recently applied for a Bicycle Friendly Community designation from the League of American Bicyclists. The application review process is now underway and the League is seeking your input to gain a better understanding of local bicyclists’ experiences in our community.

Whether you bike every day or only occasionally, we encourage you to take a few minutes to fill out this survey (link below) and please share it with your friends and neighbors. The survey will remain open through Sunday, November 15^th. Your input will also provide feedback to the City about how we can improve conditions for bicyclists. Award results for the Bicycle Friendly Community designation will be announced in December 2020.
