Local cycling advocates are celebrating San Diego's inclusion on a USA Today list of the country's ten most bicycle-friendly cities.
"San Diego is making great strides and we’ve got even more on the way to be excited about,” said San Diego County Bicycle Coalition executive director Andy Hanshaw in a July 2 release announcing the region's inclusion on the list, which does not give specific rankings.
Included in the reasoning for the selection of San Diego are the announcement of a local bike-sharing program and impending completion of the Bayshore Bikeway, which will provide an uninterrupted, dedicated loop to cycle around the San Diego Bay.
Other local perks for cyclists include the somewhat controversial CicloSDias events that temporarily close main thoroughfares to vehicle traffic and a $200 million San Diego Association of Governments-implemented regional bike plan, though portions of that program's funding have drawn criticism as well.
