Parks and Trails New York (NY) only selects one community in the state each year to host the annual Bicyclists Bring Business Technical Assistance Workshop, and in 2013 they selected our very own City of Oneida!
The event offered free technical assistance to help local business owners, elected officials, folks in our local tourism industry, and those in charge of local land use decisions discover what services, amenities, and street designs make a difference to bicyclists when choosing a touring destination.

Two events were held in Oneida:
In January 2014, Parks and Trails NY released their Bicyclists Bring Business Report for Oneida (PDF) based on their finding from the two day workshop. The recommendations in this report will not only benefit Oneida but should be applicable to our many other communities as well.
