Dorsey & Whitney - An International business law firm, applying a business perspective to clients' needs in Missoula, Montana and beyond.

Unless you’re in Washington, which ranks No. 1, state officials and bicycle advocacy groups have a lot of work to do.

What makes a state bicycle friendly? That’s a question just taken up in earnest by a Beltway-based bicycle advocacy group called the League of American Bicyclists.

In August, the League issued its first annual ”Ranking of Bicycle Friendly States.” Out here in the New West, Washington won the sweepstakes, named the most bicycle-friendly state of them all, followed closely by Oregon, in fourth place. After that, it doesn’t look nearly as friendly — Utah (11), Wyoming (18), Colorado (22), Idaho (37) and the worst of the region, my state, Montana (44). Ouch!
