Athens Bicycle Club

In February 2019, the City of Athens submitted an application to renew the Bicycle Friendly Community (BFC) status awarded to the City of Athens by the League of American Bicyclists in 2014. The Spring 2019 BFC review process is now officially underway. To help the League of  American Bicyclists gain a better understanding of local bicyclists’ experiences and perceptions of bicycling in Athens, the City would appreciate your help in providing feedback. Please consider submitting information using the following link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/adv_BFC_SP19 The survey will close on Sunday, March 24.  The League of American Bicyclists plans to make an announcement about Athens updated status as a Bicycle Friendly Community in May, 2019.
