Bike Month 2025 recap

This year’s theme “Feel Your Best on a Bike” focused on highlighting the physical, mental and social health benefits of riding a bike.  

Here are the highlights from Bike Month 2025.

E-bike Petting Zoo

To celebrate the start of Bike Month, WAY TO GO partnered with MARC and RideKC Bike to host an E-Bike Petting Zoo at the Brookside Farmers’ Market on May 3.  

Visitors had the chance to chat with current e-bike owners, get honest feedback on what it’s like to ride and maintain an e-bike and take a few models out for a spin. More than 20 people brought their personal bikes, ranging from sleek commuters to cargo bikes kitted out to haul everything from kids to groceries. Southwind Cycling and RideKC Bike also brought a selection of e-bike models, giving attendees even more options to test out.  

Many thanks to the Brookside Farmers’ Market for hosting the event!  

Stories

WAY TO GO and MARC also connected with Robin Shook of Children’s Mercy Hospital and retired family physician Dr. Jeff Dorsett and produced short video interviews with them. Their conversations can be seen below.  

What's next?

Bicycling stories and resources can continue to be found on the Bike Month page. We look forward to seeing you out in the bike lanes and trails this summer and beyond!
