Q: Our business has multiple locations, can they all become Bike Friendly?
A: Absolutely, however each business location must complete their own application. The manager of each individual location ought to apply.

Q: I received results of my Bike Friendly Business application informing me that I am indeed Bike Friendly, however my business listing is not on TravelOregon.com or RideOregonRide.com. Why?
A: There are several reasons why your listing may not be appearing online:

1. It has not been 14 business days since you received your results confirming that you are indeed Bike Friendly recognized. Please allow up to 14 days.
2. If your business is not tourism-focused or does not fall in line with Travel Oregon’s business listing guidelines, your business will not appear on our websites.
3. Lodging properties must have a basic free listing with the Oregon Restaurant & Lodging Association (ORLA), see details on the Requirements page. If you’re lodging property does not have a listing with ORLA, your business will not appear on our websites. Note, ORLA requires your lodging listing to be verified or updated every year. ORLA will contact you in October of each year. If you do not update this, your listing could be suspended on our website and printed guide.
4. If your business is specific to the bike-industry, such as a bike shop or a bike tour company, it will only be listed on RideOregonRide.com and not on TravelOregon.com.

Q: I am a Destination Marketing Organization (DMO) and received results confirming that I am indeed recognized as Bike Friendly. Why is my listing not online?
