Later in 2007, Chico won the Bronze Award from The League of American Bicyclists[[Footnote(http://www.chico.ca.us/Building__Development_Services/Traffic_/Bicycles.asp)]] -- confirming, without a doubt, that this town is prime bicycler territory. Indeed, the ["City of Chico"], with its ["Bicycle Advisory Committee"] (chaired by ["Ed McLaughlin"]), has worked diligently to make bicycling a safe alternative to driving. The city has a full array of bike lanes, including lanes for making left turns at some major intersections. ["Chico Velo"] is the city's premier bicycling enthusiast club and has been an important factor in these accomplishments. The ["organizations" organization] has a full array of literature on bicycling in and around Chico. Not all efforts have met with success, however. In 1996, a group of ["Chico High School"] students attempted to institute a program where anybody could borrow a bike for free. This was called the ["Yellow Bike Program"]. It did not last.
