Bike Week and Bike Resources on Campus!

Bike Week is June 1-8!

Madison’s Bike Week will feature big, well-established events such as Ride the Drive and Bacon on the Bike Path, as well as Bike Stations with free treats or bike checks, organized bike rides, or special Madison Bike Week offers from local businesses.

The Madison Bikes vision is a city where anyone can ride to any place comfortably and conveniently, and Madison Bike Week is an important part of making that vision a reality.

Bike Week celebrates riding to work, to school, to a park, to the library — or biking to feel the warm wind blowing through your hair.

There are lots of ways for you to get involved with the biggest celebration of bikes in our city. Check out Madison Bike Week website for more information and to see all of their events: https://www.madisonbikes.org/bikeweek.
