In 2003, the City of Brentwood was awarded the Bronze level award for Bicycle Friendly Community by the League of American Bicyclists. This award recognizes Brentwood's commitment to providing safe accommodation and facilities for bicyclists, and for the efforts to encourage bicycle travel for transportation and recreation. When this honor was awarded, Brentwood was only one of 27 communities in the United States to be recognized by the League of American Bicyclists. Every few years the City must reapply to show additional efforts made in promoting and accommodating bicycle riding in our community. Once again in 2006, we have received the Bronze level award that will be ours through May 2008. The City's ultimate goal is to achieve the Gold level award, which currently only one City in the United States has achieved.
