Each year, the League of American Bicyclists recognizes colleges and universities that support bicycling with its status. This year, 51精品视频 earned the status with a bronze distinction, joining nearly 200 other universities on the overall list.
鈥淭his is the first year we applied for recognition on campus, but we have had the infrastructure and programs in place for quite some time,鈥 said Jeff Yeaman, senior manager, . Yeaman cited specific examples like the bike rooms in Nordenberg Hall and fix-it stations around campus as evidence of 51精品视频鈥檚 commitment to being a bike-friendly campus.
The league鈥檚 bronze distinction recognizes institutions that have taken notable steps in supporting bicycling for recreation and tranporation, which can be seen in above-average numbers of students, faculty and staff riding bikes. The league scores institutions that apply for distinction across five categories, including engineering, education, encouragement, enforcement and evaluation.
