The Kalamazoo Bicycle Club sponsors, helps organize and run, and provides funding for three events for KBC members and non-members during the bicycling season. Through these events KBC enacts its mission to promote bicycling; to encourage and facilitate touring, races, bicycle outings, and all forms of recreational bicycling activities; and to help everyone recognize bicycles as vehicles used for pleasure, fitness, and transportation. Because KBC members live by the words “Life is better on a bike!”, they volunteer their time, talents and efforts to stage these events.
KalTour occurs on the last weekend in June and is a supported tour that takes riders through some of the most beautiful bicycling routes in southwest Michigan. With Four well marked routes ranging from 15 miles to the Metric Century (62 miles), KalTour is a wonderful way to enjoy Michigan roads on a bicycle.
