It’s hard to believe we’re running up against Memorial Day 2025, and then Madison Bike Week follows immediately afterwards. We’ve already scheduled almost 60 (yes, six-zero) events at over 40 (yes, four-zero) locations, with more coming in every day. There’s no hard cutoff on event submission, however if you’d like to be blessed/hyped on the socials, you’d be wise to get yours in by this Friday, May 23.
In particular, let’s highlight that on Friday, June 6 @ Brittingham Park, we’re hosting our end-of-week party with all sorts of FREE fun, food, and drinks. This event requires a lot of people-power so if you’re up for taking a volunteer slot, please fill out this form and we’ll be in touch!
This Week
On Monday at 7pm, join Bike Fitchburg for their monthly meeting a the Fitchburg Senior Center. Shout out to Bike Fitchburg for hosting a bunch of exciting Bike Week events too!
On Tuesday from 9-10am, Global Health Institute at the UW is hosting a free webinar facilitating “the discussion on healthy cities & climate change.” There are some big names on the panel, including Carlos Moreno, the author of “The 15-Minute City.”
On Wednesday from 5:30-7pm, the City of Madison is hosting a “casual” walk & talk through the Hiestand Neighborhood to discuss the Southeast Area Plan. It starts at the Hiestand Park Picnic Shelter and the rain date is May 29, which could be an important detail, given the forecast.
On Wednesday at 5:30pm, join the first in the full-summer series of e-bike group rides from the Capital Brewery Bike Club, leaving from, you guessed it, Capital Brewery in Middleton. There are actually a bunch of different rides for bike riders of every level on different days so check their site out if you like. The brewery is also hosting some fun Bike Week stuff and donating beer for the end of week party. Shout out!
On Saturday from 10am-3pm, support Dream Bikes by shopping their huge parking lot sale. Looks like it’s in front of their store @ 1131 N. Sherman Ave.
Other Stuff
