One of Cycling KC’s missions is promoting safety for all cyclists. Cycling KC is a 501(c)3 and supports bicycling advocacy by actively engaging on your behalf to make Kansas City Metro streets safer for all of us on two wheels. We meet with area government and civic officials to lobby for better cycling infrastructure and safer streets. And we help increase cycling safety awareness via our media appearances, and public service announcement campaigns.

Gillham-Trolley Trail Connector

The Gillham-Trolley Trail Connector is an opportunity to close the gap between three popular city-wide trail corridors - the Harry Wiggins Trolley Track Trail, the Gillham Road cycletrack, and the Brush Creek Trail. The existing, conventional bike lanes on Emanuel Cleaver II Boulevard would be upgraded to protected infrastructure along with new protected bike lanes connecting all three corridors.

Protected Bike Lanes

KC Region (as of December 2022):

Kansas City, MO

• Gillham Road and Oak Street cycletrack

Cycling KC also donates every year to organizations that improve cycling, especially for the underprivileged within the community.

Your Cycling KC ride fees, donations and membership support cycling in meaningful and positive ways. Often, in ways that you wouldn’t be able to achieve on your own. Access to a grass roots, well-informed group allows you to personally participate in issues that affect your cycling life.
