The
2018-2019 edition of the Kansas Bicycle Map is now available. Whether you’re
looking to ride a bicycle from one county to the next or across the entire
state, this edition has a lot to offer for those planning a short trip or a
long ride.
“This
map is a great resource for those who are already familiar with cycling in
Kansas and for those who are interested in trying it for the first time,” said
KDOT’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Coordinator, Matt Messina. “It’s full of
resources and information that will help people plan ahead to find a route that
suits their needs, make connections to our state byways system, and even
discover bikeshare programs.”
Some
of the newest features to this year’s map include existing Kansas bikeshare
programs; the 2016 and 2018 routes for the annual Biking Across Kansas (BAK)
events; the East-Central Kansas Gravel Routes inset, where riders can learn
about and explore some of the state’s off-road cycling routes in the Flint
Hills and Osage Cuestas regions; and information on navigating roundabouts
appropriately.
All
state and local roadways where bicycles are permitted are color-coded by
traffic volume and indicate where paved shoulders exist. No traffic volumes are
shown on the map on Interstate routes as cycling on Interstates in Kansas is against
the law.
Maps
are available free of charge and can be requested by emailing bikeped@ksdot.org or by
calling (785) 296-7448. For more information on cycling in Kansas, please visit
