Hi Frank,

I'm contacting you from the League of American Bicyclists. We're so excited about Morgantown's progress in becoming a more bike friendly community! As we get ready to release the Bike Friendly Community awards next week, we're looking to have a few blog posts featuring different BFCs. We would love to highlight Morgantown becoming the first BFC in West Virginia. Any insight you could give on the following questions would be great!

-Why did Morgantown decide to apply for BFC status?
-What is Morgantown's eventual goal?
-How has cycle culture developed in Morgantown? How have community members responded?
-Have any challenges arisen in becoming more bike friendly? how can communities overcome such challenges?
-Why do you believe cycling is important in your community? Why should other communities work to become more bike-friendly?
-What is next on the horizon for bike-friendly Morgantown? for cycling advocacy?

(Any personal or community anecdotes you might have would be perfect; we'd love for the entire BFA community to get excited about Morgantown's progress and find inspiration for their own communities!)

Thank you so much for your help and let me know if you have any questions about the feature!

Best,

Lindsay Plante
