The City of Auburn is well on its way to becoming a Bicycle Friendly Community. In coordination with the League of American Bicyclists, the City has been awarded a bronze medal in the Bicycle Friendly Communities Campaign. This campaign is an awards program with the purpose of formally acknowledging municipalities that earnestly support bicycling. A Bicycle Friendly Community is one that provides safe accommodation for cyclists and at the same time encourages its inhabitants to bike for transportation, as well as enjoyment.

Sixty-four communities around the U.S. were recognized as award winners. There were seven Gold-level award winners, twelve Silver-level awards and forty-four bronze-level awards. Davis, California was granted the platinum-level designation. Auburn is proud to be recognized as a Bronze-level Community along with forty-three other communities across the United States. Auburn will continue its progress for bicycling improvements to achieve a higher recognition next year.
