Technically, the location is in Overland Park, but right next to Leawood. OP gets the tax revenue, Leawood gets the traffic. But Leawood would be against it even if they did receive the tax revenue. "Build it someplace poor"

Two approaches to snow. Skinny tires that punch through, or wider tires that float. I’ve had ok results with skinny, poor luck with 43mm gravel tires, but I’ve never had a bike that can handle tires wider than 2”. My next purchase will be a bike that can handle 2.5” or wider

I use a spare wheelset, so it’s pretty easy to swap them. My main use case is basically conditions like we have now. No snow on the pavement, but with icy patches and refreeze. I will not go out in conditions where the cars are sliding around.

“Properly cleared bike lane” is not something I have ever experienced in the KC area. I used to be pretty bold on the slick spots, but it cost me a couple of hard falls. For the last 10 years or so I have been using studded tires. They aren’t the most pleasant to ride on, but they do work well.

I’m good with wellness based incentives, but they want to return us to the old system. Autoimmune disorder? Past cancer diagnosis? And a hundred other reasons to deny or set premiums so high as to effectively exclude these people.

The runner in this photo is a cycling friend who had just passed the walker who was struck on a sidewalk in Prairie Village a couple of years ago. It’s unclear why the driver was so erratic. www.yahoo.com/news/video-s...

I did some crazy distance cycling back when I was younger, but Forester always rubbed me the wrong way on just about everything. He was the reason that local clubs were unsupportive of trails and bike lanes when input was requested, and those attitudes persist in many of my older cycling friends.

Another thing, houses have gotten a lot bigger. Today people are appalled at the thought of purchasing an 800-900 square foot single bath home, but that was what I and most of my classmates grew up in.

I should check this out. I read Hitchhikers Guide while trekking around Nepal ~25 years ago. Strange book in a strange land, it somehow had a big impact on me, in a positive way. It also generated a lot of strange dreams.
