Comprehensive Pro-Bike Planning Pays OffFrom contraflow bike lanes to bike-thru banking, it's no secret that the folks at StreetFilms are huge fans of Boulder, Colorado. Now they have a huge reason to celebrate, as Boulder becomes the third community in the US to achieve 'platinum bike status' from the League of American Cyclists. Check out StreetFilms' compendium of reasons why Boulder has achieved this milestone above - from safe routes to schools to hundreds of miles of bike lanes, it kinda looks like paradise for the two-wheelers among us. Nice to see senior politicians stepping up and declaring cycling and walking as a priority too.
