Colorado City Named #1 In Country For Bicyclists

FORT COLLINS, Colo. (CBS4) - One Colorado was named number one for bicyclists according to a group made up of bicyclists.

People for Bikes released a list of cities which were rated on several bicycling factors such as number of bike lanes, overall population and number of accidents.

Fort Collins was named the number one place for riding, while Boulder came in at number 2.

People for Bikes says this year's list is different than years past because they scored cities on five criteria: ridership, safety, network (bike infrastructure), reach (bike path accessibility) and acceleration.

The group plans to release the list every year around spring or summer. You can see a full rundown of the City Ratings methodology here.
