Grand Rapids has earned national recognition for its biking environment. The League of American Bicyclists named us a top "Bicycle-Friendly Community" in 2009 and Outside Magazine named us the "Best Town for Mountain Biking" in 2010. Even our buses are bike-friendly - every one is equipped with a bike rack, so you can access local trails without riding through traffic.

Street Biking

Bicycling is a great way to get around the city - and it's getting better all the time. The city plans to add 100 miles of bike lanes to area streets by 2017.
