Tandem Night VII Photos

Not a record turn-out but still a good time. I believe there were around 13 tandems that showed up.

New City Of Wichita Bicycle Webpage

The redesign of the City website has allowed for the creation of an updated bicycle webpage. The new design includes information about how to report maintenance issues, learn about construction detours, and discover more about the Wichita Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Board. You’ll also find the maps of the bicycle facilities (paths, lanes, etc.) and contact information in case you have any questions.
Visit the new pages here.
