Do You Ride A Bike in Wichita, or want to? 

Please give us your input.

 

The City of Wichita is creating a new Bicycle Master Plan and is asking Wichita residents to help identify ways to make bicycling safer, easier and more convenient.  Below are links to an online survey that asks why you do and do not bike; and an interactive map where you can identify your favorite routes and locations that can be improved.  The survey takes about 10 minutes or less to complete
