Wisconsin Bike Week 2024 was celebrated June 1st-9th with the theme “Bikes Mean Business.” Bikes are good for our local economies. In fact, an economic impact study by the Outdoor Industry Association shows cycling contributes $1.4 billion dollars to our state coffers and provides more than 13,000 jobs. And it’s not just in Wisconsin. The League of American Bicyclists report highlights impacts from around the country.
