PERIMETER BICYCLING ASSOCIATION

Perimeter Bicycling is dedicated to making Tucson/Pima County the nation's best bicycling region. In 2008, the League of American Bicyclists (LAB) awarded the Tucson/Pima Eastern Region Gold-Level "Bicycle Friendly" designation for its commitment to providing safe facilities for bicyclists and its support of bicycling for recreation, fitness and transportation. The LAB renewed the region's Gold level in 2012. Perimeter Bicycling is actively working with volunteers and staff from the City of Tucson and Pima County to continue a concerted effort to achieve top honors... How we began - Richard J.
