Revolve Kansas City, Kan., celebrated Pi Day. Fifteen bicyclists from all over the Greater Kansas City Metropolitan area came by Revolve Kansas City, Kan., shop at 554 Central Ave. to celebrate Pi Day.

It is the third year of this celebration. How does eating a piece of pie go together? It is simple; the circle of the pie is similar when cut like the wheel of the bicycle, said Elizabeth Bejan.

A mathematical concept, pi is approximately 3.14159, with decimal numbers continuing, which is behind the idea to celebrate it today, 3-14-15. Pi is defined as the ratio between the circumference and diameter of a circle, and because of a pun with the word pie, pies are sometimes used in celebrating Pi Day.
