Volunteers Needed for our Annual Bicyclist & Pedestrian Count
We are counting on you to count for us! FC Moves is looking for volunteers for our annual Bicyclist and Pedestrian Count this September. This is an exciting opportunity to generate the data needed to prioritize future improvements for those who walk and ride bikes in our community. This project supports our community's commitment to making active transportation a viable transportation option for our growing city.

This year’s counts are Tuesday, Sept 21 and Saturday, Sept 25. We are looking for volunteers to fill a handful of 2-hour shifts at several different intersections and trail locations throughout Fort Collins on Saturday Sept 25.
The City of Fort Collins Wins Platinum Bicycle Friendly Business Award!
The City of Fort Collins has earned recognition as a Platinum Bicycle Friendly Business (BFB) from the League of American Bicyclists! 
 
We’ve joined the movement of over 1,400 local businesses, government agencies, and Fortune 500 companies across the US in transforming the American workplace to be more welcoming to our customers and employees who bike. We know so many more of you are biking during the pandemic, and we are proud to support the health and well-being of our community by being more welcoming to people choosing to bike.
 
We joined 37 total new and renewing BFBs in the League’s latest round of BFB awards and 1,458 total current BFBs across the country, all united in a commitment to transform American workplaces to be more welcoming to customers and employees who bike. The Bicycle Friendly Business award recognizes an organization’s contributions over months and years to the movement to build a Bicycle Friendly America for everyone.
 
The City of Fort Collins is among four Platinum-designated Bicycle Friendly Businesses in the state of Colorado--all of which call Fort Collins home.
 
If your business is interested in pursuing a Bicycle Friendly Business designation, Bike Fort Collins, our local bicycling advocacy non-profit, and support you. We can connect you with a local peer group designed to aide in your application. 

Fort Collins Submits Bicycle Friendly Community Re-designation Application
Not only is the City of Fort Collins a Platinum Bicycle Friendly Business, but Fort Collins is also one of five Platinum Bicycle Friendly Communities in the nation! But that doesn’t mean we get to rest on our laurels! Every four years we reapply for bicycle-friendly community status, and we are working hard to become the first Diamond-level community. We recently submitted our application to the League of American Bicyclists. As part of their review process, the League wants input from the community on bicycling in Fort Collins. Please take a minute to complete this survey and invite anyone who may be interested in sharing their input to do the same!
