Minnesota #2 Ranked Bike Friendly State. Wisconsin Drops to 6th.
Posted by Bikeverywhere, May 22nd, 2012While Minnesota moved up to the second most bike friendly state in the country, Wisconsin continues its downward slide from 2nd in 2010 to 3rd last year, to 6th this year. The League of American Wheelmen based its rankings on five categories: Legislation and Enforcement, Policies and Programs, Infrastructure and Funding, Education and Encouragement, and Evaluation and Planning. Both states remain in the top ten overall in the nation, but Wisconsin has reduced its commitment to funding and spent only a portion of its allocated Federal funds to build and maintain bicycle facilities.
