The City of Fountains Bicycle Tour is a family-friendly tour that starts at Washington Square Park. It goes to many of Kansas City’s historic fountains and other landmarks such as the Kansas City Museum, the Plaza, Liberty Memorial, and Cliff Drive.  Kansas City has over 200 fountains, only Rome, Italy has more. Some fountains are more than 300 years old. Bring your camera, take a few pictures and check out the spectacular fountains and other sights. Along the way, you will be pampered by those always-great KCBC SAGs with plenty of cold drinks, fresh fruit, and goodies to make this the ride of the year. And to make sure your bike ride is trouble-free, there will be cellular equipped SAGs roving the routes. This year we are starting from a new location, Washington Square Park. Visit our Web site for a detailed listing of post-ride activities available to riders.

Ride proceeds benefit Friends of the Fountains and Friends of Trails KC. These organizations will conserve Kansas City’s fountains for our enjoyment and help construct and maintain trails for cycling and walking.
