GVF Named a Silver Level Bicycle Friendly Business by the League of American Bicyclists

Press Release: February 25, 2026

King of Prussia, PA - Today, the League of American Bicyclists recognized GVF with a Silver Level Bicycle Friendly Business (BFB) award, earning it a place alongside more than 1,100 businesses across the country contributing to the movement to build a more Bicycle Friendly America for everyone.

“Across the country, businesses are getting creative in how they support people who bike,” said Bill Nesper, executive director of the League of American Bicyclists. “From community gardens to medical centers to ice cream shops, Bicycle Friendly Businesses are showing that when you build biking into how you operate and how you show up locally, it pays off in healthier teams, happier customers, and stronger communities.”

GVF joins a total of 1,117 current BFBs nationwide, including everything from government agencies, Fortune 500 companies, museums, hospitality establishments, bike shops, and other employers, all united in a commitment to transform American workplaces to be more welcoming to both customers and employees who bike. The Bicycle Friendly Business award recognizes an organization’s contributions in shifting up and accelerating the movement to build a Bicycle Friendly America for everyone.

“At the heart of this work is consistency,” continued Nesper. “Bicycle Friendly Businesses don’t treat biking as a one-time project. They build it into their policies, their benefits, and their culture. GVF has shown what it looks like to stick with that commitment and make it part of how they operate every day.”

GVF encourages bicycling as a transportation option and educates employees and community members on utilizing the extensive trail network in the Greater Philadelphia region. GVF spends a significant amount of time advocating for trail connections, improvements to safety and bicycle infrastructure, and provides bicycle education to employees at businesses in our service area.

"We are very proud of our continued recognition as a Silver Level Bike Friendly Business. As we advocate for bicycling enhancements in our communities, it is important to offer and promote these amenities to everyone. GVF will continue to advocate for high quality bicycle infrastructure so that everyone in our region has an opportunity to take advantage of our existing and planned bicycle networks," said Rob Henry, Executive Director, GVF.

As part of the BFB network, GVF will have access to a variety of tools and technical assistance from the League to become even more welcoming to people who bike. When more people in our community bike, great things happen: less cars on the road means less congestion, the carbon footprint is reduced, and healthcare costs go down.
