Silver

A lot of people have worked hard in recent years to make Anchorage a more bike-friendly city. And we may not be a great biking city just yet but a lot of progress has been made, and the League of American Cyclists has recognized that fact by presenting its silver level award to Anchorage.

If you want to help celebrate the achievement, pedal on over to Cuddy Family Midtown Park tomorrow afternoon at 5:30. The muni will serve some snacks, some suits will speak, and you’ll probably have a chance to thank some folks who have been working to make your daily commute a little easier. 

Try to corner the mayor and tell him you want a gold award to be next, and that he should support pro-bicycle efforts. What's good for bikes is good for communities.
