Arkansas ranked 39th, which is a lot higher than I would have expected. Most of our points came from the fact that there are no statewide laws that restrict cyclists' rights or activities, and in that we've quadrupled the number of LCIs we have in the past calendar year, as well as gotten busy with teaching the BikeEd courses here and there.

There were no question regarding road-raged cagers or road surface quality.

Having ridden a lot in Georgia, I didn't think they were all that bad, and maybe a little more enlightened than back here at home. But the League was apparently looking elsewhere.

The next round of questionnaires is supposed to get tougher, though...
