KEEN Cycling Commuter Sandals are HERE!!  Family Bicycles is now the only bicycle shop in Kansas City MO to carry the Keen Cycling Sandals.  The women's sizes arrived today and we expect the men's shoes tomorrow or Thursday. Show the world how you like to move in the KEEN Commuter. This hard-working bicycle shoe delivers dual functionality by doubling as a trail sandal. The non-marking rubber outsole provides the right grip for all your active endeavors. Hop on and off the bike with confidence and make the commute to work or the trail your own. 

Family Bicycles and Revolve have teamed up with the Mid-America Regional Council and its Green Commute Challenge.  The Green Commute Challenge aims to remove motorized vehicles from the road during peak commute times and during ozone season in Kansas City. It's an employer-based contest that encourages the use of carpooling, vanpooling, riding the bus, bicycling, walking and telecommuting.  Click here for more information.

The contest takes place in July and August because this is when Kansas City typically experiences the highest ozone levels.  Track your bicycle, bus, or carpool trips for work and earn points and you might win a great prize like a Family Bicycles gift certificate!

It is not too late to join!  Have your employer contact MARC today to compete for great prizes. 

Join the Chain Reaction: Ride a Bike  The Beginner's Ride leaves the Family Bicycles' parking lot at 6:30pm.  This is a beginner's ride, the pace is a slow 8mph, we ride for an hour.  The ride is designed to help beginners get comfortable riding on the streets and with other riders.  The ride is cancelled if it is below 45 degrees, raining or if lightning is visible.  All riders must wear a helmet, lights are always required.

The ABC Training Ride, led by Elizabeth, also leaves at 6:30pm on Mondays.  The ABC Training Ride is approximately 14 miles at a 14mph pace through the streets of Prairie Village.  Build up your stamina for the ABC 50 mile route on September 12th.
