Loved the experiment we did with these on 6th Street in downtown KCK and on Southwest Boulevard in Rosedale. Revisit definitely. Even more reasons than before to make these outdoor spaces happen. @BikeWalkKC@CHCofWyCo@NBCCDC@RosedaleDA@cabakck @CityofKCK @UGHealthDept
Robin, think that may vary by facility and location. I'm involved in a research study related to the impact of guided physical activity on Alzheimer's. They are beginning to ramp back up but they are doing so very gradually and carefully.
It's time to #MoveYourWay! Check out this video made by @BikeWalkKC that shows youth how to fit a bicycle helmet + check bicycles for safety. Also, if a youth needs a bike helmet, they can give you one! Contact [email protected] for more info.

Wondering whether you should go for a walk, or get on your bike? Medical officer of health in BC, Dr. Bonnie Henry said last week that there was almost no chance of catching the coronavirus while outside, and while keeping your distance from others. And that evidence is rising.
Just now dusting off your bike after the winter months? This is a great opportunity to get some tips on tuning up your ride. #StaySafe#StayActive#StayStrong

Some people just do not get that this is way more than a physical activity discipline. Outdoors activity can have a huge positive impact on your mental and emotional health as well. Which all of us need . . . every day . . . especially now. #StaySafe#StayActive#StayStrong
This is a classic example of where a little colorful street art on the streets and curbs could jazz up the concrete and bring more visual zing to the area.
Visual and color contrast is important, not only for visibility but also for attention. For example, imagine crosswalks around parks and schools with colorful art.
Restaurant owners are now in favor of using parking for outdoor seating and claiming its a boon for business. For years they complained any removal of parking for safe bike lanes would decimate their businesses. Business owners shouldn't have outsized voices in community outreach
It's like setting an alarm on your watch/phone to remind you to take a prescription. I have an alarm once an hour to remind me to get up and move around. Another alarm three times a day for a ten minute walk/jog. #StaySafe#StayActive#StayStrong@CHCofWyCo @UGHealthDept
Small things can snowball and become BIG things. Make it a point to get up, stretch, and move around every 30 minutes. This small habit has a huge impact on your health!
