There is no state more supportive of people who travel by bike than Washington, according to one of the nation’s largest bicycle advocacy organizations. Washington leads U.S. states in fostering bicycling and systems that support it, earning it the top spot in the League of American Bicyclists’ Bicycle Friendly State rankings for 2024. The competitive ranking program evaluates states based on their commitments to bicycling across five categories: infrastructure and funding, education and encouragement, traffic laws and practices, policies and programs, and evaluation and planning.
