We are collecting stories about why Kansas Citians walk or ride bikes. Help us answer the questions Why I Walk? and Why I Ride? Share photos of you and your family walking or bicycling. Or send us a video of your story.
However you want to tell your story, we want to hear it and share it with Kansas City. It just might end up on a Bike Week poster or on our web site!
"When I was a kid, I used to have dreams I could fly. I get that same sensation of unbridled freedom and escaping gravity when I ride."
-Dan from KCK"I walk to lose weight and it helps me keep it off"
-Jessica from Prairie Village"I ride because every time I get on a bike, I can be 9 years old again."
Ann in KCMO"I bike with my kids to school. If they get some exercise in the morning they do much better in class during the day."
-Jesse in Liberty"I feel like a kid! I am filled with joy! I see the glee on the faces of the bicylists who pass me on the street and on the trail… Riding a bike is one child-like joy that's still "okay" well into adulthood. So much fun and exercise, too!"
Kathy in Lee's Summit
