“The business community’s investment in bicycling is playing a central role in making the country a safer, happier and more sustainable place to live and work,” said Amelia Neptune, director of the Bicycle Friendly America program. “We applaud this new round of businesses, including Blue Mountain Quality Resources, for leading the charge in creating a bicycle-friendly America for everyone.”
