Hey everyone -

So I just moved here, and I am living near the Katy Trail; I am living only a couple of blocks away. Having said that, what is the best way to access the trail if I am going to ride my bike on the trail? I live right off of Lemon and Cole, in the West Village area. I see that there is a stairwell off of Blackburn, but not sure if that is a good way to get on if I have a bicycle.

Only place I know to get on/off with no stairs is at Knox. I used to lug my bike up the stairs at Reverchon Park, now THAT was half the workout right there!

There is a ramp at Reverchon Park now you can ride up to the trail.

Absolutely, why walk when you can ride. I have been riding up that ramp for years. Didn't know they had stairs.

I'll have to go check it out sometime, last time I was there was in 2006, and there was definitely no ramp!

Super great question (and answers) for those who can't do stairs, too. Thanks!
