Gravel safety: everything a beginner needs to know
Gravel is one of the safest ways to start cycling because gravel roads have very little traffic. The real risks are falls on loose surfaces, mechanicals far from help, weather, and legal ambiguity on shared roads. Every one of them is managed with skills, systems, and community — which is exactly what a coached program provides. More Than Miles™ leadership is First Aid, CPR, and AED certified.

What are my legal rights as a cyclist on the road?
In both Kansas and Missouri, a bicycle is a legal vehicle: you have the right to ride on the road, to take the lane when it's too narrow to share safely, and to be passed only at a safe distance. You must also follow traffic laws — signals, lights at night, and riding with traffic. Knowing your rights makes you a calmer, safer rider.
