Wisconsin Bike Week! - Wisconsin Bike Fed

2026 Wisconsin Bike Week takes place May 31 – June 7, bringing communities across the state together to celebrate the joy and impact of bicycling.

This year’s theme, “Bikes Build Community,” highlights how cycling connects neighbors, supports local businesses, improves public health, and creates stronger, more vibrant communities throughout Wisconsin.

From group rides and commuter stations to educational classes, parties, and community events, there are countless ways to get involved and ride together.

Community groups, businesses, nonprofits, schools, local governments, and organizations are encouraged to participate by hosting events, sharing resources, promoting safe riding, and inspiring more people to get on a bike. Event calendar submissions provide added promotion and statewide visibility.

Together, we can grow the reach of Wisconsin Bike Week and showcase the positive role bicycling plays in creating healthier, more connected communities across the state.
