The League of American Bicyclists considers the Five E’s of a Bicycle Friendly Community – Engineering, Encouragement, Education, Enforcement and Evaluation, when awarding designations. The Bicycle Friendly Community Program (BFC) provides incentives, hands-on assistance, and award recognition for communities actively supporting bicycling.
