Coverage of Stevens Point being named a Bicycle Friendly Community

In mid-October of 2013, the League of American Bicyclists named Stevens Point a bronze-level Bicycle Friendly Community.

On this page, I list links to PPSP posts on this topic. I also list links to selected web coverage and references to stories in local print media about this exceptional achievement for our city.
