Good morning,

I am contacting you today because your community is currently designated as a Bicycle Friendly Community (BFC) by the League of American Bicyclists. I am excited to announce that we have now launched our new online Application Portal and an improved 2016 BFC application!

*All applicants, both new and renewing, will need to create a new account to submit an application. Please visit the new Bicycle Friendly America Application Portal at http://apply.bikeleague.org http://apply.bikeleague.org. *

If you submitted an application for our Spring 2016 deadline there is no need to create an account at this time, but it might be helpful for you to see our new system. The Spring announcement is currently planned for May 18 th.

You can read about some new features of the online portal at http://bikeleague.org/content/new-bfa-online-application-portal.

We also made some updates to the BFC application, including a new numbering system, and changes to make more questions multiple-choice. You can learn more about the changes made to our BFC application and download a copy of the complete 2016 application in Word at: http://bikeleague.org/content/new-improved-bicycle-friendly-community-applic....

As always, please visit http://bikeleague.org/community to learn more about the Bicycle Friendly Community program, and feel free to contact me with any questions.

Thank you!

Ken
