The Wisconsin Bike Fed’s Council of Advocates was formed in 2021 as an advocacy initiative that aims to bring together voices from each of Wisconsin’s 72 counties to advance biking priorities throughout the state.

Discussing the wants, needs, concerns, and opportunities for cyclists in each community, Council of Advocates members help us gain a better understanding of current issues and how we can work together to create better biking for all of Wisconsin.

In 2025, we are still looking for a volunteer member from the following counties:

  • Buffalo
  • Calumet
  • Chippewa
  • Forest
  • Kewaunee
  • Lafayette
  • Lincoln
  • Menominee
  • Oconto
  • Pepin
  • Rusk
  • Taylor
  • Trempealeau
  • Washburn
  • Wood

Advocates meet virtually to discuss biking needs, concerns, and opportunities in their communities … and Bike Fed facilitates turning those conversations into advocacy and action throughout the state! Please visit our website to read more about some of our advocacy actions including our Priority Projects and Legislative Agenda that includes supporting the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Fund. 

As a cyclist and trails user, you understand the importance of infrastructure and education that make cycling for transportation and recreation safe and fun. The Council of Advocates has been created with the goal of having at least one volunteer representative from every Wisconsin county to exchange ideas on cycling goals, challenges, and needs.

Interested in joining the Council?

We hope you’ll consider contacting Government Affairs Manager Mike Ridgeman at mike@wisconsinbikefed.org for details on how you can get involved.
