About Bike Month 2024

Bicycles are a powerful tool to build community, link places and create lasting bonds. From the people you meet to the places you discover, bikes connect us.

The Mid-America Regional Council is celebrating bicycling in the Kansas City region in celebration of National Bike Month. We’ll be sharing resources for getting on two wheels, stories from people who bike and community events to celebrate biking with others this spring.
