Bicycle-Friendly Community

Coeur d'Alene was awarded "Bicycle Friendly Community" status in 2008 and again in 2012 by the League of American Bicyclists . This award is a nationally recognized designation that showcases cities that have dedicated themselves to promoting bicycling.

To be designated a bike-friendly community, the League of American Bicyclists looks at many different criteria: miles of trails and paths, connectivity, education, encouragement, enforcement, engineering, ordinances, the presence of advocacy groups, city policies, and much more. When Coeur d'Alene was given a bronze designation, we joined the ranks of 289 other cities across the nation to be considered bike-friendly. Currently, there are 206 cities with the bronze designation, 61 with silver, 18 with gold, and 4 with platinum.

Coeur d'Alene's goal is to obtain platinum status.

Coeur d'Alene adopted a Complete Streets Policy in the Spring of 2009.
