Today the Wichita city council approved changes to the current bicycle ordinance.
Unless there is a usable bicycle path next to the street, cyclists can now ride in the streeet no longer having to be within 5 feet of the curb. Eliminated from the ordinance was being required to license a bicycle and use a bike rack if one is available within a city block.

The City of Wichita is in the process of revising their bicycle ordinance. Please take a look at these proposed revisions here. (requires Acrobat Reader)

Note that these are revisions to just a few of the many sections in the ordinance. You can view here what I believe is the current ordinance in full.

If you have any comments or suggestions please send them to city council person Lavonta Williams at lkwilliams@wichita.gov

If you are interested in serving on a short term committee to review the ordinance let me know and I'll put you in touch with the right person.
