Madison Bike Week has a history going back over twenty years. Despite the challenges of COVID-19, we are excited to put on a socially-distanced celebration of biking. Bike Week celebrates riding to work, to the grocery store, to a park, to the library—or biking just to feel the warm wind blowing through your hair. We’re working with local hosts to bring you a safe, fun week.
