We candy cane, we candy saw, we candy conquered at the Madison Santa Cycle Rampage on Saturday, December 9, 2023!

The truly festive event saw some 400 participants riding around, spreading holiday cheer on the streets of Madison. We FUNdraised for youth cycling advocacy and education, played wacky field games at Breese Stevens Field, enjoyed copious amounts of Santa’s favorite java and delicious treats from Wonderstate Coffee, Clausen’s Bakery and Bloom Bakeshop. Some of the luckiest elves even won goodies donated by local businesses in the reindeer raffle!

WE ARE SNOW GRATEFUL!

Thank you to all of the amazing participants and partners for making this year’s event a yule-tide blast. Your incredible and intricate costumes, energy for the day, and overall support of the Wisconsin Bike Fed’s educational mission matter deeply to us.

Plus, coming together in large roll outs like this are important ways of strengthening our local cycling communities. You’re so on the nice list for that.

RAMPAGING FOR HOW LONG??

In clarification, and because each news outlet will quote it differently, the Santa Cycle Rampage Madison started ten years ago with a small group of devoted and merry riders (some of whom have kept the tradition going annually). The Wisconsin Bike Fed took the ride over three years ago and we’ve had a jolly good time ever since.
