Featured speakers: Venice Mayor John Holic and Tim Bustos from the League of American Bicyclists and the Florida Bicycle Association

You will see new signs that Venice is a “Bicycle Friendly Community” around the town. With the new designation of silver level, it will attract more tourists to Venice Florida who enjoy safe cycling as leisure or sport from around the country and the world.  Also, it will help to improve the local economy.

The Legacy Trail and the new construction of overpass bridge on US 41 added value to the achievement of the award.

Boulder, Colorado; Davis, California and Portland, Oregon are the only communities which have achieved the Platinum level.  16 communities have the Gold level and 39 communities have the silver level. There are about 200 communities which have the bronze level.

We are proud our first award was Silver level (not bronze) which seldom happens.

Venice is a wonderful place to live, work, play or visit.

What a honor this is for Venice. As a bicyclist myself, I applaud the cities that take cycling seriously and make the changes necessary to become a bicycle-friendly city. Some cities I have visited have done an amazing job and Venice appears to be on that same list.

Should be a fun event to attend, and no doubt will appeal to lots of residents.

That's a great designation for Venice, Kwee.  It's one of the criteria many of us would use for selecting a Florida location.

Kwee, GREAT NEWS, beside Walk Score, maybe Bicycle Score will be noted on our listings!   This is a great form of transportation, and great exercise!

Hi Kwee, I live in a bicycle friendly community and there are a lot of bike clubs and Redlands hosts the annual Bicycle Classic which is popular with riders all over the US and Canada. It is nice when the cities promote sports.

The Legacy Trail is a great trail for those who enjoy biking. It is also one of the contributing factors for Venice to obtain the designation as" Bicycle friendly community"
