Become a BFA Local Reviewer

Are you a regular cyclist, work with or for cyclists, or are otherwise knowledgeable about bike issues and would like to support local bike-friendly efforts? Consider becoming a Bicycle Friendly America Local Reviewer!

Each application to the Bicycle Friendly Community, Bicycle Friendly Business or Bicycle Friendly University program is not only reviewed by a panel of national bicycle experts, but also by several local reviewers that are consulted to share their on the ground perspective of the applicant.

As a local reviewer, you may receive applications from communities, businesses and universities that you have specified. Feedback is typically requested in February/March and July/August, and you will usually have 2-3 weeks to complete your review. Of course, all local reviewers are remaining strictly anonymous to allow for candid feedback!

Your feedback will influence the award decision and will be integrated into the official recommendations the applicant receives at the end of the process.
