Think Bicycles links cyclists and bicycling groups with City, County and State officials in order to foster and expand all aspects of bicycling in Johnson County. This includes efforts to educate all roadway users, to expand cycling infrastructure, to increase access to transportation and recreational trails, and to encourage more community members to ride bicycles more often.
We continue to advocate for bicycles as viable forms of transportation
and foster an environment where bicycles belong on roads.
