The Southern Oregon city of Ashland has been named the most improved bicycle friendly city in the US.

Getting the gold star is still a good thing, years after elementary school.

The Southern Oregon city of Ashland's friendliness to bicycles just earned it a gold star from the League of American Bicyclists.

And that's big jump from its previous bronze status, winning Ashland the title of "Most Improved Bicycle Friendly City" in the country.

Listen to Mike Faught describes Ashland's bike amenities and services and how they're improving over time by clicking here for a link to Jefferson Public Radio's website.
