The 37 athletes on our team span a wide variety of ages, race skills and accomplishments. Team members race actively in Kansas, Missouri, Iowa and Nebraska, as well as taking part in USCF National Championship and UCI World Masters Championship events. Community Involvement No matter where you live, or work, or play in the Kansas City area, you're likely to see a cyclist in the distinctive Red, Yellow and Black colors of the LocalCycling.com uniform. Members of Team Localcycling.com are leaders off the bike as well. Highly respected members of the business community, and community leaders. The team is active in community organizations as well as cycling advocacy.
The team supports The Major Taylor Foundation of Greater Kansas City which seeks to educate, mentor and provide support for all youth interested in the varied aspects of cycling, including commuting, group rides, bicycle repair and racing. Our members have provided coaching and equipment while mentoring those members of the Major Taylor group with an interest in racing. Team Localcycling.com also supports Kansas City Wheelchair Road & Track. KC Wheelchair members race as part of our team. These physically challenged athletes have competed in the Dodge Tour of Georgia, Rocky Mountain Omnium, Kechi TT, Peculiar TT and the Baptist-Lutheran Hospital Triathlon. Team Localcycling.com is committed to making the sport of cycling accessible to all regardless of physical ability. The team members also lead group rides throughout the year. The popular Monday Night ride from Casa Paloma is a 'no-drop' ride to help educate those new to the group experience and to refresh tired legs of the more experienced. Our Wednesday ride is one of the most challenging in the KC Metro, while our Scooters Coffee ride on Saturdays offers an 'in between'. |
