Bike Friendly Community Application 2025

The City of Coeur d'Alene has reapplied for the Bicycle Friendly Community designation from the League of American Bicyclists. We have been holding steady at the Silver level since 2008 and would love to see it bumped up to Gold. To obtain that, we need the community to weigh in and show support by filling out a survey in the link below. Please share this post with as many people as you can! Thank you!
