Biking Across Kansas (BAK) is an annual recreational and social rally for bicyclists that follows a route across the state of Kansas, United States.
The first BAK was organized in 1975 and has been held annually each June. The BAK route varies from year to year, and has traversed all 105 counties of the state. More than 800 bicyclists from Kansas and other states participate in BAK each year. The event was organized by Larry and Norma Christie through 2001.
