Idaho slipping in bike friendly status?
The latest results from the League of American Bicyclists are out. Your neighbor, the state of Washington, leads the nation for Bicycle Friendly America, an annual award. Idaho, however, is a roller coaster of emotions. When the organization began the awards in 2008, Idaho started out at near the bottom [.PDF], ranking 37th in the nation. In 2009, they began to inch their way up to 34th. Last year, they saw their biggest improvement, leaping to 26th. Idaho, what happened? This year you're back down to 30th.
