In honor of National Bike month, the League of American Bicyclists has released its latest Bicycle Friendly States Ranking. In the fifth annual assessment, Oklahoma achieved a 35th place ranking nationally.
Four years ago Oklahoma was ranked 48th in bicycle friendliness. Oklahoma’s bicyclists, along with state agencies and other groups set the goal of improving Oklahoma’s ranking. “In 2011 we ranked 43th,” said Oklahoma Bike Summit Chairman Kevin Mussett, Stillwater. “Jumping 8 places to 35th in one year is the result of a lot of hard work by bicyclists, Oklahoma Department of Transportation, and the Legislature, all working together,” Mussett said.

Embracing the spirit of "The Mother Road," the new route will follow the famous corridor from Chicago to Los Angeles on roads appropriate for cyclists and, when possible, on sections of the historic highway.
A number of motorists have contacted the City Council of Oklahoma City and complained about the new Bike Route signage that OKC recently began installing along more than 200 miles of designated bike routes. Several members of the City Council are considering taking the signs down.
