The 2020-2022 edition of the Kansas Bicycle Map is now available. Whether you’re looking to cycle from one county to the next or across the entire state, this edition has a lot to offer those planning a short trip or a long ride.
“The 2020 map features trails and bike routes for cyclists at all levels of experience and also highlights recreational opportunities,” said Jenny Kramer, Bicycle and Pedestrian Coordinator for the Kansas Department of Transportation. “In addition to the statewide view, you will find several insets that zoom into communities that have developed networks for cyclists.”
Maps are available free of charge and can be ordered on the new KDOT Transportation bicycle map request portal: https://kdotapp.ksdot.org/BicycleMapRequest/. Bicycle Safety Tips cards are also available for order. To view these items prior to ordering, visit: http://www.ksdot.org/bureaus/burRail/bike/ksbicyclemap.asp.
