Wisconsin Bike Week

When the weather cooperates it makes Bike Week that much better! Patience is a virtue and while much of the country celebrated bike weeks in May, Wisconsinites stood by under gray and cold and wind to come out strong with great weather in early June!

We want to thank Wisconsin Department of Transportation for their support of Bike Week and the educational opportunities and PSAs you may have seen running on TV and billboards. Speaking of, we still have some yard signs to distribute. Please contact us to get one, or a pack, for your whole block or business!

A special shout out to Sheboygan Active Transportation and the Eau Claire community who hosted tons of great local events to spread the bike love. Also thank you to Madison Bikes, who continue to do great local advocacy and encouragement work in Madison. And finally thank to all you who RODE YOUR BIKES, supported local businesses by bike, contacted a local elected official, took a class, brought a friend along, participated in a Pride Ride, or even got a free cup of coffee on your ride to work. When we support our community we make great things happen by bike!

We were excited to see the mayors of Milwaukee, Madison, and West Allis all host rides in their community and tout the good that bikes bring to their constituents. We encourage our other community partners across the state to consider inviting more local officials to participate in a ride to wither highlight great things happening or shed light on places that need to improve.

Looking for more great events to ride in or to! Check out our year round event calendar with all sorts of rides and events hosted by our staff and communities across the state!
