Bike Week KC

Starting this weekend there are plenty of cool activities tied to the upcoming BikeWeek. The official website has a calendar of events, resources for beginners (commuter and otherwise) and the popular Car-Free Challenge.

Localcycling.com sponsors a couple of local race teams and is throwing down a challenge of our own. We’d like to see local teams/clubs wear their team kit and join us at the Mayor’s Breakfast kickoff for BikeWeek on Monday morning. Ride down to the Power and Light with your group, enjoy some freebie breakfast snacks, plus rumor is there will be free bicycle bells given out. Can we say photo op? Here’s the link on our site to area teams (yup, there’s even more than those listed…we’re adding daily), take the (pun intended) bull by the horns and get your crew organized to be there monday. Our mini-editorial: “We want to see a bunch of 360 jerseys, PVYC jerseys, SKC jerseys at this event….we’ll lean on our folks to make a nice splash for the mainstream media. We ride, let’s don’t hide!”
