Iowa City’s quest for increased bike-friendly status has also moved along, Throgmorton said. The city, now ranked at the silver level by the League of American Bicyclists, aspires towards gold and, ultimately, platinum, with the goal of achieving gold status by the end of this year.

Throgmorton cited efforts to update the city’s Bicycle Master Plan and infrastructure improvements on 1st Avenue and South Sycamore as evidence of the city’s work to move forward. He also pointed to events such as the UCI Cyclo-Cross World Cup race, which was held in September and will return this year.
