Wisconsin Bike Fed
MILWAUKEE - Wisconsin Bike Week is back! It's on now through June 7, and you can celebrate by taking part in a number of events happening throughout the state.
The statewide celebration invites residents, businesses, organizations, and communities to experience how bikes build stronger, healthier, and more connected communities.
"This year’s theme of ‘Bikes Build Community’ highlights the ways bicycling connects neighbors, supports local economies, improves public health, and creates welcoming spaces for people of all ages and abilities," said Events Manager Heather Rainer. "Wisconsin Bike Week will feature rides, educational programs, advocacy training, commuter stations, family-friendly activities, and community celebrations happening across the state."
