The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, only one of 75 universities in the US to receive a Bicycle Friendly University distinction, was designated a bronze award as a biker-friendly university by the League of American Bicyclists Bicycle Friendly America program. Evaluation is based on the campus' engineering in bicycle-friendliness as well as encouragement, education, enforcement, and evaluation/planning.

UWEC hopes to continue in its efforts to support and sustain long-term plans that also benefit the environment. Overall, the campus community offers over 2,000 bicycle parking spots for faculty, students and visitors.
