I would add that I think the physical geography of KC is a setback to bicycles. I ride a bike a lot and the first thing someone notices on a bike here is that this town is far from flat. Many other major cities I have been to are much more friendly for bicycles not only for their bicycle lanes but also the fact that they are not very hilly. Even Denver, situated next to the mountains is amazingly flat along with St. Louis, Chicago, Boston, Washington, D.C., New York, etc... Curious about the bicycle comments.
