Possible Addition or Modifications to Kansas State Statues for Bicyclist

Proposed changes to State of Kansas law add clarifying definitions to terms and bicycle spaces, better define what is expected from cyclists, and provide a strong response for motorists who violate the code. A summary is available here as a PDF.

This revision ensures that adult bicycles using more than two-wheels are covered by the statutes.

WHAT IS THE BICYCLE FRIENDLY STATE PROGRAM?

A Bicycle Friendly State promotes cycling through legislation, policies, programs, and by creating new places to ride, educating motorists and cyclists, and encouraging people to bike for transportation and recreation. The Bicycle Friendly State Program is a two part recognition program that ranks and recognizes states that actively support bicycling. First, states are ranked annually based on their level of bike-friendliness. Secondly, states that wish to apply for a Bicycle Friendly State award designation can receive further recognition and promotion of their efforts as well as feedback, technical assistance, training and further encouragement to improve their bicycling legislation, projects, and programs.

The Bicycle Friendly State Program is generously supported by program partners Bikes Belong and Trek Bicycle.
