The League of American Bicyclists (LAB) issued their Spring 2019 list of bicycle friendly communities and there is nothing to report in the immediate DC area.
The closest city to be listed this year was Frederick, MD which renewed as Bronze (again), as did Norfolk, VA. Meanwhile Rockingham County, where Harrisonburg, VA is located, moved up to Bronze.
But, and I don't think I reported this at the time, last fall Annapolis and Anne Arundel County became Bronze as well.
Here are the updates (not counting renewals and being very generous with the term "local"):
In
2012 Frederick, MD - Bronze
Fall 2014 Hagerstown, MD - Bronze.
Spring 2015 Sailbury, MD and Norfolk, VA - Bronze.
Fall 2015 Virginia Beach - Bronze
Spring 2016 Columbia, MD - Bronze; Catonsville, MD - Honorable Mention
Fall 2016 Vienna, VA - Bronze.
Spring 2017 Howard County, MD and Fairfax County, VA - Bronze
Fall 2017 No local awards
Spring 2018 Washington, DC - Gold
Fall 2019 Annapolis and Anne Arundel County, MD - Bronze
Spring 2019 Rockingham County, VA - Bronze
