Strava activity of my commute home with an image of Save America's Bike Lanes - Bike Lanes Save Lives April 21 in the background
I forgot to get a photo on my commute but here are the KC bike lanes I used in my ~10 mile round trip:
🚲 Lexington Ave Pendleton Heights
🚲 Cliff Drive to Paseo bike path
🚲 Admiral Blvd
🚲 Charlotte St
🚲 Cherry Street
🚲 3rd Street

!!! Incredible matchup, I can't wait!
Gravel bike with full pannier and a tote bag strapped in a basket on the rear rack, cup holder/feed bag on the handlebars
It must be my cute basket, drivers were being so chill and friendly today. Even a motorcyclist waved. Unfortunately I got a massive tire blowout on a chunk of glass and had to push my loaded bike home. A good lesson to replace my weak ass handpump with one of those battery powered ones 😭
Hwy 9 in Kansas City to North Kansas City with a Share the Road yellow diamond sign and Speed Limit 45 back to back
Share the road with cyclists, also speed limit 45mph absolutely not ☠️
As a newer person to commuting in Kansas City by RideKC ebikes here is my advice:
- Bring a plastic bag for the bike seat if it rained in the week. The bike seat may seem dry. It is not.
- sunscreen, sunscreen!
- If you plan to stop for lunch or even a long coffee: get a day pass it's so worth it
Strava activity share. Morning e bike ride with cpkc stadium in the background

Frankly, there was not enough awe and excitement at having our company off-site at the KC Current stadium so I had to bring the noise. Also so nice to live so close I could take a RideKC bike.
⚠️ Kansas just enacted a version of the SAVE Act, which removes voters with “no election-related activity” over four years who don’t respond to a confirmation notice — joining a growing list of states restricting ballot access ahead of midterms. https://bit.ly/4tIV43N
Wow. I'm so glad you brought this up to them! The fare capping was pretty confusing on the website. And I assume you'd have to pick one payment method and stick with it to ensure your fares are capped at daily, weekly, monthly, e.g. can't use a debit card one trip, Google/Apple pay another, etc
And! And! Bringing back bus fares in June right before the World Cup. Two months away and still no word on how lower income residents can access "functionally free" fares.
Kansas City passing a ban on mini liquor bottles in some (historically redlined) neighborhoods to "reduce crime" at the same time as letting bars and restaurants serve alcohol 23 hours a day during the world cup is so sinister.
The extent cities are going through to extract as much money as possible from World Cup visitors (and their own residents??) is so gross. Kansas City is also guilty of this.

Yesterday I took my gravel bike to mountain bike trails (ow) and I think I caught the mountain biking bug! I got lost in the park constantly and found myself at the nearby living history museum
An elaborate movie ticket documenting Sinners special presentation presented in 70mm Mar 28 2026 foregrounded in a movie theater

Watching Sinners in a packed theater is an all-time experience still, even a year later! But even better in 70mm with a Q&A after
Gasp! Jes and I are seeing Project Hail Mary here. seeing Sinners tomorrow!
Means it's just a bit too loud to have a quiet conversation
JUSTICE FOR HUSH!!
I stopped watching Texas Chain Saw Massacre to watch the KC Current game and wow this is a massacre too 😮💨 #SEAvKC
