 The Urban Kansas City Community of Cycling is working with a variety of schools and youth groups in urban Kansas City to develop their interest in bicycling.One of their most interesting projects is working with Scuola Vita Nuova to take a groups of middle schoolers on the Katy Trail ride in June: The Wheels Can Take Me Places Project begins this January. It is designed to connect students to the outside environment and the surrounding community. By taking part in the program, students will gain strong and lasting connections to the living world and the larger community through service projects and outdoor experiences. We believe this foundation created between the land and the students will help make their urban neighborhoods healthy and sustainable. The Wheels Can Take Me Places Project is sponsored by Scuola Vita Nuova Charter School, The Urban Kansas City Community of Cyclists and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources-Division of State Parks.Read more on the Urban Kansas City CC web site. The Urban Kansas City Community of Cycling is partnering with MoBikeFed to involve the students in bicycle advocacy, and there is the possibility the students may visit Jefferson City February 24th for for Bicycle Day at the Capitol 2009. Creating school bicycle clubs and programs is one of the objectives in MoBikeFed's Vision of Active Transportation in Missouri. The Urban Kansas City Community of Cycling is a great example of how this can be done. Recent Posts in Cycling Tips & Stories

Please note that on May 3-5, 2009, a group of 22 students from Compton Drew Middle School, a St Louis City Public School,will be participating in their 8th Annual Katy Trail Bicycle Adventure. This year the group will bicycle the Sedalia to Jefferson City leg, with an overnight in Boonville. In preparation the students have taken 9hrs of Bicycle Education classes, written and skill tests, and bike 12 miles a day, four days a week in Forest Park. The student bike club started in 2001 and has introduced bicycling and bike touring to over 400 students. If there are more student bike clubs in Missouri, speak up, we would like to know all about them.
