edar Rapids is leading the state as an early adopter of bike-friendly infrastructure. We were named a Bicycle Friendly Community in 2014 by the League of American Bicyclists, and have held a bronze

designation since 2018. Every year, we continue to expand our network of on-street bike lanes and multi-use paths available for residents to enjoy. Currently, Cedar Rapids has 80 miles of bikeways and multi-use trails combined, with another 7.5 miles planned for 2021. Additionally, programspecific amenities such as the Bike Share program help unlock transportation access for more residents throughout core economic districts.
