About Property:
The FC Bikes program encourages bicycling as a viable and healthy means of transportation for Fort Collins' residents, employees and visitors of all ages and abilities. Through advocacy, programming and planning, the FC Bikes program seeks to increase bicycling while creating and maintaining a bicycle-friendly community atmosphere. Fort Collins has been designated, by the League of American Bicyclists, a Bicycle Friendly Community since 2003. In the spring of 2013, the city received a Platinum designation, and it is now one of only five other communities in the U.S. -- along with Boulder, Colo., Davis, Calif., Madison, Wis., and Portland, Ore. -- to hold that distinction.
