I have to admit that my legs are getting tired. They’re not used to being used so often, but it’s a good kind of soreness – the kind that makes me feel like there’s some kind of progress being made. It also might have something to do with an increase in riding today. I headed downtown before work to go to Mayor Funkhouser’s press conference and hear about the plans for a more bike-friendly KC. It was certainly interesting – more information about what it takes to become a Bike Friendly Community can be found here. Shawnee is already a Bronze level Bike Friendly Community, and the Roeland Park and Shawnee mayors are joining with Kansas City to encourage community involvement in the initiative.
In case you missed it, I sat down with anchors Carolyn Long and Craig Nigrelli during the KCTV5 News at 4 today to discuss Bike Week, the blog, and the Mayor’s press conference. Click here to check it out.
There’s a chance of showers tomorrow, so make sure to pack a rain jacket for your ride! It’ll likely only be light and scattered showers, but best to have that jacket just in case.
