FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Kansas City, MO (November 18, 2025) – Bike Share KC is expanding access to sustainable transportation with the opening of new bike share hubs in two Kansas City neighborhoods: Ivanhoe and Pendleton Heights.
Both hubs will open to the public on November 19, featuring brand-new electric bikes available for residents and visitors. The new stations will increase transportation and recreation options while strengthening connectivity for Kansas City’s east side neighborhoods.
The Ivanhoe hub will be located at 3644 Woodland Ave, directly across the street from the Nutter Ivanhoe Neighborhood Center. The Pendleton Heights hub will be located at the entrance to Maple Park, adjacent to the soccer fields.
Ivanhoe Neighborhood Council’s Executive Director Alana Henry explains the impact of a new bike hub in Ivanhoe, stating,
“In the community I serve, accessible and affordable transportation options can be a challenge for many individuals and their families. We are ecstatic to offer an additional resource onsite at our campus that addresses a key need for our community members. Partnership with BikeWalkKC on this important initiative to increase mobility and bike access will undoubtedly have a significant positive impact on the more than 6000 households in Ivanhoe.”
Jonathan Cokely, President of the Pendleton Heights Neighborhood Association also shared his enthusiasm for the bike hub installation.
“Pendleton Heights is really excited to welcome the new Maple Park Bike Share Hub. This project will provide additional mobility access to our neighbors, encourage residents to enjoy the urban oasis of Cliff Drive, allow for joyful rides to KC Current matches, and bring positive programming to our parks. Thank you to our partners Bike Share KC, Community Capital Fund, and the residents of Pendleton Heights who worked so diligently to get the bikes here.”
Bike Share KC offers a convenient, affordable way to get around the city. Simply check out bikes from any hub using the Bike Share KC app, ride to their destination, and return the bike for the next rider.
The Ivanhoe Neighborhood Council is now a Bike Share For All program partner.
