INVESTING IN BIKING PAYS OFF: 39 BICYCLE FRIENDLY BUSINESSES RECOGNIZED BY THE LEAGUE OF AMERICAN BICYCLISTS

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The League of American Bicyclists is proud to recognize 39 new and renewing Bicycle Friendly Businesses (BFBs) and four Honorable Mentions in its latest award round. This brings the total number of Bicycle Friendly Businesses nationwide to 1,192, joining a nationwide network of employers committed to making bicycling safer, easier, and more joyful for their employees, customers, and the broader community. BFBs can earn Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum status based on their efforts, and must renew periodically to ensure their efforts towards better bicycling are sustained over time.
“Bikes mean business, and Bicycle Friendly Businesses are proving it,” said Bill Nesper, executive director of the League of American Bicyclists. “When businesses support biking, they’re investing in healthier employees, more engaged customers, and stronger communities. Bicycle Friendly Businesses are leading by example, showing that making biking safer and more accessible isn’t just good for individuals—it’s a catalyst for thriving local economies.”
This round of awards underscores how Bicycle Friendly Businesses are leveraging local investments in bicycling to attract more foot (and pedal) traffic while improving community well-being — a win-win for local riders and business owners alike.
The League of American Bicyclists invites organizations of all sizes and industries to apply for the next round of Bicycle Friendly Business awards. The next application deadline is March 20, 2025. Learn more at bikeleague.org/business.
