In the spirit of Biking Across Kansas, we're celebrating bicycles and the places they've taken us across the state. Bicycles have been used to deliver newspapers, carry home the bounty of a hunting trip, provide therapy, or beat the train home. ![]()
Each town hosting an overnight stop on this year's Biking Across Kansas is represented on Kansas Memory. Riders started in Sharon Springs, Kansas, perhaps passing by the Wallace County Courthouse or passing through Main Street. Headed east, Oakley, Hoxie, and Logan offer a glipse into life in western Kansas. The city of Downs greets visitors with its historic railroad depot, which is still standing. Further to the east, Clyde, Centralia, and Troy await bicyclists. The final stretch takes riders into the city of Elwood, on the Missouri River, completing a successful 481-mile tour on two wheels of the state of Kansas.
