The Bicycle Federation of Wisconsin has put together the Madison By Bike Neighborhood Ride Series in order to help introduce more people to cycling in Madison. Expect relaxed, comfortable trips to your favorite neighborhood destinations by bike. It’s also a learning experience - Bike Fed staff lead "Bicycling Made Easy" discussions before each of the rides. Each ride focuses on:
-
Comfort: Feel safe and comfortable as most routes are on bike paths

Learning: Review safety and bicycling tips to build confidence going by bike

FUN: Enjoy fantastic weather, great company, and the best of Madison neighborhoods
