KC: Bike to Work Week, May 13-19
Tuesday, May 02, 2006
Deb Ridgway of Bridging the Gap has announced Kansas City's Bike to Work Week events for 2006:
Designated nationally by the League of American Bicyclists, May 15 to 19, 2006 is Bike to Work Week across the country and here in Kansas City. This year Clean Commute, a program of Bridging The Gap, has taken the lead in organizing Bike to Work Week with a variety of events promoting biking to work as well as for errands, recreation and fitness.

From the Bike Commuter Challenge, to criterium bike races, to family rides for ice cream, to breakfast on the trail, there is something for everyone. Many local partners were recruited to host events across the region including Missouri Bicycle Federation, Trek Store of KC, City of Overland Park, Johnson County and Kansas City Bike Clubs, the Major Taylor Foundation of Greater KC and ACME Bicycle Company. Each group will offer opportunities for cyclists of all skill levels to get out on your bike have some fun and make new friends.

Friday, May 19th has been designated as Bike to Work Day. Clean Commute will be sponsoring Breakfast on the Trolley Track Trail and you will be able to ride the JO or KCATA for FREE with your bike.

Visit Bridging the Gap's web site for more details on this event and others.
Kansas City's Bike to Work Week kicks off May 13th with the Mayor's Tour of Raytown (which is, coincidentally, a MoBikeFed Advocacy Event--it donates a small portion of each entry fee to support MoBikeFed's advocacy work in Missouri).

Statewide events during Bike Month 2006 are listed on MoBikeFed's online calendar.

The League of American Bicyclists maintains a list of Bike Month and Bike-To-Work-Week events in Missouri.
