2014 Bicycle Friendliness by State

League of American Bicyclists:
The League of American Bicyclists released their 2014 rankings for bikeability. Virginia dropped two spaces from last year’s rankings and is now listed as 18th. “Every year, the League ranks all 50 states on their bikeability.  We do this based on a mutli-faceted Bicycle Friendly State℠ questionnaire that is answered by each state’s Bicycle Coordinator. We look at five categories: Legislation & Enforcement, Policies & Programs, Infrastructure & Funding, Education & Encouragement, and Evaluation & Planning.”
