Kansas City’s Car Free Weekends on Cliff Drive are entering their third year and have been a very successful program. By removing cars from the drive on weekends, more citizens are able to enjoy bicycling and walking and crime has been reduced significantly. Now Kansas City is expanded on this successful program by creating the city’s first full-blown Sunday Parkways festival.” St. Louis is also expanding it’s ciclovia programming this summer. The Missouri Bicycle and Pedestrian Federation is working to bring ciclovia festivals to cities around Missouri. The state has gone from no Missouri ciclovia festivals in 2007, to one in 2008, and now seven planned for 2010. Learn more at MoBikePedFed.

According to the Missouri Bicycle and Pedestrian Federation, “Ciclovia—the street festival where cities close down miles of streets and residents come out to enjoy walking, bicycling, scootering, skating, and all other manner of fun physical activity—is coming to Missouri in a big way this summer. 
According to Bike Pittsburgh, their 2009 Bike Fest had 50+ events on the calendar attracting people from far and wide. The fundraiser party was packed with over 500 attendees raising nearly $14,000 for bicycle advocacy. The group parked over 200 bikes, raffled off a Cannondale Quick 4, and even offered great dance floor shots.
