Ready, set, pedal! Put down your car keys and change up your commute May 15-19 for National Bike to Work Week.

If you don’t own a bike, Ride KC has a bikeshare program with locations throughout Johnson County, and Bird scooters and bikes are available to rent in Overland Park. Rent an e-bike for an extra boost, or stick with a traditional bike for a classic experience.
The League of American Bicyclists established National Bike Month in 1956 to celebrate and encourage bicycling for recreation and transportation. Learn more about National Bike Month and Overland Park bike trails, lanes and opportunities for adventure at opkansas.org.
