League of American Bicyclists' Bicycle Friendly University (BFU) program - Bronze through August 2027


After careful review of your 2023 application, and in consultation with local cyclists and advocates, I am pleased to inform you that Northern Michigan University is awarded a Bronze BFU designation. Congratulations!  You should take great pride in the bicycle friendly campus you have created for your students, employees, and visitors!


The official announcement of the 2023 BFU Awards will be made next Thursday, October 26, through the distribution of a national press release and online at www.bikeleague.org. We appreciate you keeping the news of your award private until then so that we may have a more effective and impacting message. We hope that you too will announce your designation on October 26. 


Included below are links to an announcement toolkit for your use, along with the 2023-2027 Bronze BFU award seals.

We love to showcase our new and renewing Bicycle Friendly Universities on the League's blog and social media platforms! To help us highlight your campus as a Bicycle Friendly University, we invite you to submit photos and quotes about bicycling on your campus through our BFU Story Form!


In the coming weeks, detailed feedback on your application will be sent via email and you will receive a Bicycle Friendly University award letter and certificate in the mail. If you would like to order additional materials to promote your BFU designation, please visit our online store here.


Your award designation is good for four years, through 2027, after which time you will be reminded to renew. You are welcome to renew before then if your campus makes considerable improvements and would like to be considered for a higher designation.
