You’re someone that likes to ride bikes. Or, maybe you think you might like to.  Maybe you’re just curious what it’s all about as you see more and more bikes around town.  That’s understandable as the popularity of cycling has been growing the past few years.  Since Jefferson City is adjacent to the Katy Trail, you may assume that’s where most people are riding their bikes.  While a good number of people ride on the Katy Trail (a surprising amount of folks actually travel in from all over to ride it) there are many other types of riding.  There are even groups that get together to do these rides.
