Kansas City Bicycle Log

Posts, email, and ideas related to bicycling and bicycle advocacy.



I post these mostly for my own convenience in being able to keep them archived and searchable, but if you get some use of them, more power to you!

Among other interesting items here is a fairly complete record of my involvement with the grassroots effort in support of the BikeKC initiative in the Summer of 2002.

You can find everything from press releases to letters to the city council to exhortations to other bicyclists to write letters to the editor. See what worked well and what caused us problems in the effort to pass BikeKC.

From my point of view, this was almost a picture-perfect grass-roots movement. The result was that BikeKC was passed on August 15th, 2002.

Now we have to work to make sure the plan becomes reality!

Most of that is in the 8/25/2002-8/31/2002 archive.

Here is the media coverage I know about concerning BikeKC, since the measure was passed.

* As far as I know, all local TV news programs covered the approval of BikeKC by the City Council. I saw a shot of the famous "Yellow Jerseys" on Channel 9.

* KMBZ radio interviewed some bicyclists and did a story on BikeKC.

* The KCStar's Mike Rice covered the BikeKC events in City Hall Thursday. See

* The KCStar's Lee Judge drew an editorial cartoon related to BikeKC.

* The KCStar's Mike Hendricks wrote a complimentary column about BikeKC:

There are probably many others that I missed.
