What's the best type of bike for the Katy Trail?
1a. Hybrid (Tie)
Pro: Tires of 35–40 mm are ideal for the trail, and the upright positioning is great for sightseeing.
Con: You can’t ride as aggressively.
1b. Recumbent (Tie)
Pro: It’s like riding a lounge chair across Missouri.
Con: Weight, cost, and the trouble of transport are hurdles, and it’s not great on hills.
2. Gravel
Pro: The bike’s ideal for the terrain encountered on 99 percent of the trail.
Con: It can have difficulty with the other 1 percent.
3. Mountain
Pro: The bike’s great for short rides, and fat tires handle rough terrain, such as washout, sand, and rocks.
Con: It’s heavier than other options and requires more effort.
4. Road
Pro: The lighter bike provides less rolling resistance.
Con: Skinny tires don’t handle the terrain well.

6 pieces of gear to pack
What to pack beyond a helmet, water, food, and personal-care items:
1. Padded shorts and chamois butter.
Long miles mean lots of saddle time.
2. Quick-dry tops.
Synthetic materials are essential to wick moisture away.
3. Sun protection/sunglasses
Most of the trail is exposed.
4. Bug spray
You can’t outride a mosquito.
5. Pump, tubes, and a multi-tool.
Don’t get stranded along the trail.
6. Bike bell
Yes, it’s essential for good trail etiquette; ring when you want to pass.
The history of the Katy Trail:
In the early 1980s, Ted Jones of Williamsburg, Missouri, went on a bike ride in Wisconsin. The ride happened to be along a rails-to-trails project, and he returned to Missouri determined to replicate the idea along the Missouri-Kansas-Texas (MKT, or more familiarly, Katy) rail system. That railroad ceased local operations in 1986. Through legislation, land grants, and generous donations from Ted and his wife, Pat, the first section of the Katy Trail opened near Rocheport in 1990. Since then, more sections have been added, lengthening the trail to its current 240 miles.
