ENGINEERING cycle in the city

Cycle in the City was an initiative led by the City’s Bike KC program that transformed a portion of Ward Parkway to a family-friendly open street festival in May of 2015. The free event was designed to encourage urban exploration in an innovative, healthy, social and fun environment without the interference of motor vehicle traffic. The event featured a variety of free, family-friendly activities including the opportunity to bike, walk, roll, stroll, jog and play along one of Kansas City’s most beautiful thoroughfares. There was no start or finish line, just a wide-open, split-lane boulevard with games, music and other entertainment stationed throughout the 2-mile course loop.
