The City of Topeka invites residents to join City Manager Dr. Robert Perez on a bike ride in honor of National Bike Month. “Bike Ride with Your City Manager” will take place on Friday, May 16 at 12:00 p.m. starting at City Hall, 215 SE 7th St. Community members of all ages and skill levels are encouraged to participate in the casual group ride, which aims to promote healthy living, bike-friendly transportation, and civic engagement.
“Bicycling is a great way to connect with our community and enjoy all that Topeka has to offer,” said Dr. Perez. “I’m excited to ride alongside residents and highlight the importance of safe, accessible transportation options for everyone.”
Participants are encouraged to bring their own bikes and helmets. Limited bikes will be available for use by contacting andy@cycleproject.org. City staff and representatives from local biking organizations will be on hand to provide support and information.
National Bike Month, celebrated each May, promotes the many benefits of bicycling and encourages more people to give biking a try. The City of Topeka is proud to support this initiative through events like “Bike with Your City Manager” and continued investment in bike infrastructure and accessibility.
The city supports the Topeka Bikeways Master Plan, which is dedicated to making Topeka a place that encourages its citizens to use this healthy, low impact, and fun form of transportation as a great part of their routine lives. You can learn more about the Topeka Bikeways Master Plan at:
