Congratulations – It’s Time to Celebrate! <\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The League of American Bicyclists announced today that Baltimore was named a Bronze Level Bicycle Friendly Community<\/strong>! This award is presented only to communities with remarkable commitments to bicycling. One Less Car is very proud of this announcement!  A huge pat on the back goes out to Nate Evans, Baltimore’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Planner, for his tremendous efforts to create a truly Bicycle Friendly Community.<\/p>\n

Nate’s response to the award, “After two Honorable Mention awards, Baltimore joins the ranks of Philadelphia, Washington DC & Charlotte as a bronze level bike friendly community. To put it in perspective, Portland is platinum, San Francisco & Seattle are gold, and Chicago & Arlington, VA are silver. We still have a long way to go, but as a community of cyclists, we can become even more bike friendly! Thanks to everyone who helped bring this award to B\u2019more!”<\/p>\n
