You could try a route like this. Even if you don\'t end up following this exact route, it gives you the general idea of who to find the nicest bicycle route--look for those lesser traveled side streets. In most of the central part of KC that is actually pretty easy to do.
See Google map of a possible route 72nd & Wornall to 103rd and State Line here:
