Wisconsin Bike Week! - Wisconsin Bike Fed

Thank you to everyone who participated in Wisconsin Bike Week 2026! From May 31 through June 7, communities across the state came together to celebrate this year’s theme, “Bikes Build Community.”

Over the course of the week, dozens of rides, commuter stations, educational events, bike rodeos, trail ribbon cuttings, festivals, and community gatherings took place throughout Wisconsin. From Brule to Milwaukee, Green Bay to Madison, and communities large and small in between, thousands of people experienced firsthand how bicycling connects neighbors, supports local businesses, promotes healthy lifestyles, and strengthens communities.

We were thrilled to see local organizations, businesses, schools, nonprofits, municipalities, and cycling clubs embrace Wisconsin Bike Week by hosting events and encouraging more people to get out and ride. Whether participants joined a mayor’s ride, attended a commuter station, celebrated a new trail opening, raced on mountain bike trails, or simply enjoyed a ride with friends and family, every event contributed to the statewide celebration.

We would also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who supports the Wisconsin Bike Fed throughout the year, as well as those who chose to make their first gift during Wisconsin Bike Week. Your generosity helps us continue our work to make Wisconsin a better place to bike for recreation, transportation, and healthy living.

Wisconsin Bike Week would not be possible without the support of our partners and sponsors. We extend our sincere gratitude to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) for its continued support of Wisconsin Bike Week and its commitment to creating safer, more connected transportation options throughout Wisconsin.

We also thank the many local organizations, community groups, businesses, volunteers, ride leaders, and event hosts who dedicated their time and energy to making Bike Week a success. Your efforts helped create welcoming opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to experience the joy of bicycling.

Together, we demonstrated that bikes truly do build community.

Thank you for riding with us, and we look forward to seeing you again for Wisconsin Bike Week 2027, first week of June!
