This year’s City Ratings includes 816 new locales across the U.S., including a brand new best city for biking — Mackinac Island, Michigan! This may come as no surprise to those familiar with the island, which banned cars in 1898, but there is still plenty to learn from this small town off the tip of northern Michigan.

On May 24, Minnesota took a big step in becoming one of the safest places in the U.S. to ride a bicycle as Governor Tim Walz signed HF5247 into law.

“The uptake of cycling in cities is directly connected to government priorities. When government leaders invest in making cycling more accessible and appealing, more people choose cycling for everyday transportation,” PeopleForBikes President and CEO Jenn Dice told Zag Daily. “If more cities in England make similar long-term commitments to invest in cycling, they will gradually catch up to their European peers.” - Read the complete Zag Daily article below and be sure to visit https://lnkd.in/dxSd-ng

On April 18, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) finalized a new Public Lands Rule that will guide the balanced management of our nation’s BLM lands to improve the health and resilience of our public lands in the face of a changing climate.
