REI Awards $100,000 to Bikes Belong

The Bikes Belong Foundation has announced a $100,000 grant from Recreational Equipment Inc, to expand their Bicycling Design Best Practices Program. The program showcases the best models for bicycle transportation from Europe and North America to help American cities make bicycling a safe and practical choice for short trips. The award will be used to fund the newly created REI Best Practices Grants, available to cities whose leaders have participated in a Bikes Belong Best Practices workshop or study tour and have an REI store in their metropolitan area.
