No bike? No problem! Ride KC offers a bikeshare program with spots across Johnson County, while Lime electric scooters and e-bikes are available to rent in Overland Park. Opt for an e-bike for an extra push or stick with the traditional ride for a timeless journey.

The League of American Bicyclists has championed National Bike Month since 1956 to celebrate and promote cycling for both leisure and transport. Discover more about National Bike Month and explore Overland Park’s bike trails and lanes at opkansas.org.
