The City of South Bend has been recognized as a Bicycle Friendly Community by the League of American Bicyclists. South Bend was one of only 190 communities in the United States to be awarded Bicycle Friendly Community status, receiving this designation in 2010 for its "remarkable commitment to bicycling."

As a result, the City of South Bend has developed a long -term plan for a 93 -mile bicycle network, aggressively added new bicycle routes, and is completing work to finish the river walk system from Logan Street to Darden Road. As of January 2012, approximately 59.9 miles of bicycle routes have been established within the City. This network consists of multipurpose paths separated from streets (13.8 miles), striped bike lanes (16.4 miles), and other designated on- street routes (29.7 miles).
