Kansas City infoZine article on Missouri Bicycle Map

An article about the Missouri Cross-state Bicycle Map, recently posted on the MoBikeFed web site, appeared yesterday in Kansas City infoZine:

The first version of the proposed cross-state routes was released by the Missouri Bicycle Federation in June 2003. The second version of the map, released today, has many substantial revisions in response to this feedback.

The map identifies a number of east/west and north/south "bicycle freeways" across the state as well as secondary "bicycle highways". All of the proposed routes would be intended to be used by experienced long-distance or touring bicyclists.

The proposed cross-state route map has the twin goals of

• Identifying the most bicycle-friendly possible cross state routes and routes connecting all main population centers in Missouri, given existing roads and conditions.
  
  
• Identifying problem spots, sections, or areas in the bicycle routes for possible future improvement.

Cyclists are invited to view the map and give comments, suggestions, and feedback about the map.
