Please join us for the KanBikeWalk 2nd Annual Meeting.

KanBikeWalk is a non-profit, statewide organization whose mission is to promote a safe bicycling and walking environment for Kansans through education and advocacy.

KanBikeWalk’s members are working to become Kansas’ center for bicycle and pedestrian issues and advocacy with the goal of making Kansas a premier bicycling and walking state through improved safety/education programs and infrastructure improvements at the local, state and federal level.

As a 100% volunteer organization, KanBikeWalk is reaching out to you as a member of the bicycle and walking community. We all walk and bicycle for transportation, recreation, tourism, sport and/or exercise. We need your help to make Kansas a safer, friendly state to bicycle and walk in. Please join us!
