The recognition puts Aurora — located in Kane County — near the very top of the state when it comes to bikeability, a testament to the city’s trails, infrastructure, and commitment to making cycling accessible for residents of all ages.

For a community that sits along the Fox River and boasts an extensive network of paths and bike-friendly routes, the honor comes as little surprise to locals who regularly take to two wheels for commuting, recreation, and fitness. The ranking shines a well-deserved spotlight on the investments Aurora has made in connecting neighborhoods and green spaces through cycling infrastructure.
