Wisconsin has taken a big drop in a new ranking of the most bicycle friendly states. The League of American Bicyclists ranks the Badger State 26th, after it was in the Top Ten every year since the rankings first came out in 2008. The league criticized a repeal of Wisconsin’s Complete Streets law — in which it’s no longer required that streets be designed for bicyclists to ride safely. The bicycling group says the change was felt in every category it reviewed. The state now ranks 38th for policies and programs, 34th for funding and infrastructure, and 32nd for planning — but Wisconsin still ranks 14th best for bicycle education and encouragement, and 16th for laws and enforcement.
