Fayetteville will host the 2022 UCI Cyclo-Cross World Championships. It has also been investing heavily in Cyclo-Cross with a series of events that started in 2019 with FayetteCross.
Fayetteville has a comprehensive bicycle master plan which was most recently updated in 2020 with a goal to build an “all ages and abilities” network of bicycle infrastructure, including a 100-mile paved trail network and adding on-street connections to points of interest and residential areas over the next decade. With over 47 miles of paved trails already in place, and 1/3 of residents already riding a bicycle on a regular basis, Fayetteville’s Active Transportation Plan endeavours to connect trails to within a ½ mile of every Fayetteville resident and reach 15% in active transportation mode share. On average, 19% of Fayetteville’s annual transportation budget has been invested in bicycle projects over the last 5 years. Several road safety and children’s cycling initiatives are regularly being delivered, while the city’s mobility plan includes extensive community outreach surveys to measure and assess progress.
