Ride Lawrence

Due to weather we had to delay a day – but that didn’t deter the almost 100 people that came out to participate. Below is a gallery of images from the event courtesy of Susan Patton, who is the Friends of Lawrence Area Trails‘ Communications Coordinator.

We’ll be back at it the third weekend of July next year!

Because of the weather, we’re postponing today’s bike ride to tomorrow (Sunday 7/20) morning. See you tomorrow AM!

Mark your calendars, save the date, and make plans now to attend the 2024 Lawrence Community Bike Ride Saturday, July 20th from 8:30am – 11:00am. 

• Four rides to choose from (or skip the group and ride anytime) 
• FREE Helmets with complementary fittings 
• Bright Colored Ride Shirts (while supplies last)

All rides and festivities begin at the Lawrence Rotary Arboretum located at 27th and Wakarusa by the YSC Soccer Fields.

(In the event of rain, the event will be held Sunday, July 21)

Ride in or drop by 9th and Iowa for demos and maintenance tips from local cycling organizations, activities for kids, information booths and samples to fuel your ride!

The City of Lawrence is conducting a multimodal corridor study for Massachusetts Street from 14^th Street to 23^rd Street.  Information about the project can be found on the City website here.  

The Lawrence Bicycle Plan identifies this corridor as a priority bikeway network. The study will include safety, efficiency, and equity considerations for all modes of transportation.

The project’s first public open house and community conversation is scheduled for Wednesday, October 25, from 4:30 – 6:30 PM at the Liberty Memorial Central Middle School Library (2^nd floor, elevator available). This event is to inform but, more importantly, to seek community input.
