Cycling Tips & Stories

Please consider joining MoBikeFed and a number of other organizations for the 3rd annual Missouri Trails Summit Nov 2-4, 2006, in Kansas City.

You can register at the door, just for a day or part-day if you wish.

Look for presentations like these:

* Kansas City Councilman John Fairfield about creating a bike/ped crossing over the Missouri River (KC metro area's recommendation for [possibly] two river crossings recently approved by the Mid-America Council's Board and now under consideration by MoDOT)
* KC's Riverfront Heritage Trail
* Levee trails
* Safe Routes to School
* EarthRider's President Michael Gier talking about mountain biking trails
* MoDOT Bike/ped Coordinator Caryn Giarratano talking about Missouri's new strategic plan for bicycle & pedestrian accommodation
* MoBikeFed Executive Director Brent Hugh about creating bicycle communities
* Bicycle tour of the Indian Creek Trail
* Urban bicycle ride (5:30 Friday Nov 3rd, sponsored by MoBikeFed--it's free, please join us!)
* Trailbuilding school
* Wilderness run
* Promoting tourism/birdwatching on trails (b-i-g business on the Mississippi River, could be on the Missouri River, too . . . )
