Last week three folks from BikeWalkKC journeyed to Washington, DC for the National Bike Summit and a day on Capitol Hill visiting the KC bi-state Congressional delegation. We took the message of walking and biking to the offices of Congressmen Emanuel Cleaver, Sam Graves, and Kevin Yoder; Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins, and Senators Claire McCaskill and Roy Blunt.

Above we paused outside the office of Senator Claire McCaskill with our colleagues from other bike/ped advocacy organizations. Below after a hard day of lobbying on Capitol Hill we checked out the protected bike lane near Washington’s Union Station.
