*
CARY, NC – The League of American Bicyclists has renewed the Town of Cary’s prestigious Bicycle Friendly Community designation in recognition of Cary’s continued commitment to improving conditions for bicycling and its practice of making focused investment in bicycling programs and facilities. *Cary’s BFC award was renewed following a detailed audit of the Town’s efforts to provide safe accommodation and facilities for bicyclists and to encourage residents to bike for transportation and recreation. *The BFC judges were particularly impressed with Cary’s new bicycle education video, which airs regularly on Cary TV 11 and is available on the Town’s Web site. Reviewers were also impressed with Cary’s annual Cycling Celebration, the addition of bike racks to Town transit buses, and its participation as a pilot in the Safe Routes to School program.

"The League is delighted to again recognize Cary for its efforts to welcome bicyclists and make bicycling safer and more enjoyable,” said Andy Clarke, Executive Director of the League. “We applaud Cary and our other BFC communities for their willingness to invest over the long-term in creating a better, more livable environment for their citizens.”
