Did you attend yesterday’s Winter Bike Fashion Show? We last had the show all the way back in 2019, and so I wasn’t sure how things were going to go. Would people show up? Does the format still work? We’ll share more later, but I think the show was a great success. Models that showcased a variety of approaches to riding in the cold; volunteers and sponsors contributing their labor and door prizes; a wonderful venue; over 100 people attending. The Fashion Show is back!
Curb management at the Transportation Commission
The Transportation Commission is meeting on Wednesday. One item of interest is an update to the curb management project. What is curb management? The curb on city streets is an important and often contentious dividing line. Should the space to the left of the curb be used for car parking, delivery zones, bike lanes, sidewalk cafes? Should the city charge for the use of that space? And how much, at what times, with what goals? There are many more aspects to this, and this is why the city is undertaking a comprehensive study of policies, practices, and technologies related to managing the curb.
Slide from the presentation (Source: City of Madison)
It is still early days in the project, and the current step aims to finalize a guiding framework by this fall. You can provide input by emailing transportationcommission@cityofmadison.com or registering here: https://www.cityofmadison.com/city-hall/committees/meeting-schedule/register
Downtown Plan process
The city keeps working on updating its area plans. As the Southeast and Southwest plans are getting closer to completion, the revision of the Downtown area plan has just started. How can you be involved? For now, you can add comments on transportation, land use, and other issues on this interactive comment map: https://plans.cityofmadison.com/downtown-area-plan There are already a lot of bike-related comments on that map!
Bike shop map and t-shirt store
Did you know that we have a map of Madison area bike shops and repair stations on our website? The map was broken for a while, but now we updated the map and you can find it here. Another update to our website: We now have a link to our merch store in the main menu of the page. So if you want to buy a Madison Bikes shirt, go here.
A quick reminder that the Return of the Winter Bike Fashion Show is happening this Sunday. We haven’t hosted a show since COVID, but now we’re back!
Join us (and bring a friend!) at the Goodman Community Center, Iron Works Building, 149 Waubesa Street from 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm.
What is the Winter Bike Fashion Show? A celebration of riding your bike through the colder season. A venue for asking questions about how to keep your toes toasty, goggles fog-free, bikes upright on an icy day. Will there be “fashion”? Uh, sure! Because we think that no matter if you’re wearing Swedish army surplus wool pants, hi-tech bike jackets with built electric heating and Bluetooth controls, or just the coat you’d normally wear around town: Everybody looks amazing when they’re on a bike.
One of our fabulous models: Kimberly
Aside from our models showing off their outfits and answering questions, we’ll have more activities for you:
Help school kids stay warm in the winter: Safe Routes to School is doing a clothing drive. Hats and mittens are the biggest need, but items such as coats and rain pants are also welcome.
Madison Metro will have a bus on site and you can practice putting your bike on their front racks.
Our photographer Dan Stout will take pictures of you and your bikes. Our board member Harald will be around with his video camera to ask you about your favorite (and maybe least favorite) things about riding in the cold.
This is the week! The 25th Anniversary (and second time in Madison) edition of the Bicycle Film Festival is happening this Thursday! Tickets are still available as of now, but don’t wait too long. Full details about the festival are available here. We’ll have door prizes and there is a pre-festival social hour at Working Draft, with a special appearance by the Chef At Large food cart. Will we see you on Thursday?
Week Without Driving starts today
Did you know that about 30-40% of residents in Dane County are non-drivers? That is, they can’t or don’t drive at all. Because they’re too young, too old, have a disability that prevents them from driving, can’t afford to drive, don’t have a drivers’ license, or choose not to drive for some reason or the other. Non-drivers face many challenges, such as inadequate transit service, missing sidewalks, unsafe bike conditions, etc. Week Without Driving invites elected officials, transportation professionals, policymakers, and community members to step into the shoes of non-drivers by not driving from Sept 29 to October 5 and reflecting on that experience.
Week Without Driving panel discussion in Madison
In addition, there are also community discussions about the week. You already missed the one in Madison, which took place yesterday (and was wonderful!). But you can still join the discussions in Sun Prairie on Tuesday and Fitchburg on Thursday. Virtual options are included, and the recordings will be made available later. You can also watch a short intro video with Anna Zivarts, the author and activist who came up with Week Without Driving (and apparently considered moving to Madison after she visited in 2024!)
Bike Advocacy Meetup on Sunday
On Sunday, join the monthly Bike Advocacy meetup at Machinery Row. These meetups aim to connect and empower people from the Madison community to collaborate, learn, and strategize ways to make Madison more bike friendly. It’s a welcoming crowd and you don’t need to a bike or bike advocacy nerd to join. 5-6:30 pm at Machinery Row.
Can’t make it in person? There’s an online community on Discord as well: https://discord.gg/QJBt5e5K (link expires in 7 days)
Lake Wingra Community Ride a success
Madison Mayor Satya Rhodes Conway at the start of the ride
It was the most beautiful weather imaginable for the inaugural Lake Wingra Community Ride. The ride celebrated the creation of the Lake Wingra Loop, a 6.5 mile route that features natural, historical, and cultural highlights. About 60 community leaders, businesses, elected officials, and people enjoying the route came together and stopped at the various points of interest along the route. There will be likely be another community ride next year, but for now you can experience the route at your pace, whenever you like. Check out the story map here: https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/52bda717b8a544169a62f691746c77b8

The Bicycle Film Festival (BFF) is a global celebration of movement, creativity, and contemporary culture, anchored in cycling and expressed through film, art, music, and immersive experiences. Since 2001, BFF has toured over 100 cities, from Tokyo and Paris to New York and Istanbul, engaging more than a million attendees in person and millions more online.
BFF partners with leading institutions such as the Sydney Opera House, the Andy Warhol Museum, and the Barbican. Artists like Erykah Badu, Daft Punk, Kaws, and Spike Jonze have attended and/or participated. The festival features curated films, exhibitions, performances, and culinary events that reflect a sophisticated lifestyle.
A blurry photo from a 2017 public input meeting about Wilson Street from my archives.
We mentioned it before: After almost seven years, the Wilson Street corridor project is complete. What started as a plan to merely repave Wilson Street, with no safe accommodations for people on bikes, turned into a corridor study turned into protected bike infrastructure on the ground. I feel confident in saying that without the work of Madison Bikes and its community, since the very beginning of the project, we would not have a continuous, protected, two-way bike lane along Wilson Street. Now it’s time to celebrate: Join me on Wednesday morning for a short bike ride to the city’s ribbon cutting for the project. We meet at 8:30 am at Crazylegs Plaza (Southwest Path near Camp Randall Stadium) and depart at 8:40 for the 9 am press conference by the city.
City engineer Jim Wolfe has it right:
“Wilson Street is such a critical transportation corridor to connect downtown with John Nolen Drive and the primary bike trails through the city, including the Capital City Trail and the Southwest Path. Prior to these projects, access to downtown by bicycle could be challenging, with primarily just shared lanes on streets and on streets with steep hills. Wilson Street now provides a good option for people of all ages and abilities, without sacrificing any of the other important uses of the street. It will now more broadly serve all of the residents, visitors, and businesses that use Wilson Street now and into the future.
BCycle coming to Middleton? Possibly!
Yes, BCycle may expand its network to our neighbor in the west! The Middleton city council approved an application for Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) funding last week. If the application is successful, it would pay for several BCycle stations in Middleton (locations TBD), which could be open as soon as spring 2026.
In the meantime, join Capital Brewery Bike Club, BCycle, and the City of Middleton for a BCycle Test Ride and Group Ride event. This Wednesday at 4 pm, there will be an intro to BCycle and free test rides at Stone Horse Green, followed by a 5:30 pm e-bike group ride by the Capital Brewery Bike Club.
Event Schedule – Wednesday, Aug. 20
4:00–5:30 PM – Stone Horse Green, Downtown Middleton
• Free B-Cycle test rides & demonstrations — a great way to explore downtown Middleton
• Community gathering to share bike advocacy and e-bike knowledge
• Meet city leaders, local businesses, and potential riders
5:30 PM – Capital Brewery
• CBBC E-Bike Group Ride — Short & long route options touring Middleton’s highlights & potential B-Cycle station sites
• All bikes welcome — or borrow one of the 12 B-Cycles on site
• Post-ride B-Cycle Q&A at the Brewery
Pedals and Pixels Showcase Gallery Event
As the culmination of a summer workshop program, this Wednesday Bikes for Kids Wisconsin and Black Girl Magic will present their “Pedals and Pixels Showcase Gallery Event” this Wednesday. Come to MyArts on 1055 E Mifflin between 6 and 8 pm and follow the adventures that 10 middle school girls had on their bikes over the summer. Their stories will be shared through their photography, creative writing, and spoken word. If you can’t make it on Wednesday: The artwork will be on display for one month after the event. Learn more about the program and the event at https://bikesforkidswi.org/pedalspixels2025/
Midvale survey reminder
Another reminder to complete the Midvale resurfacing survey if you haven’t done so already. You can chime in on three possible options for the resurfacing: One of the options includes bike lanes on Midvale; two do not but offer improvements elsewhere. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RZ7RZLF
Each week, Little Bellas adult mentors will lead participants on a trail ride and in skill-building games with the goal of building their confidence and enthusiasm for mountain biking in a non-competitive setting.This program will be held on Monday afternoons from 3:30-5:30 PM beginning September 8th and ending October 27th at Quarry Ridge Recreation Area in Fitchburg. It is open to girls ages 7-13.
A reminder that you can join the Madison Bike Advocacy Discord server to chat with fellow advocates. The current invite link is https://discord.gg/3ea9pa3F. To protect the channel from spam, the link expires after 7 days. Feel free to email us if you need a new link.
How have you been dealing with the heat? Did you go biking anyway? I’ve been out despite the heat, exploring new multi-use trails on the west side. But I took it slow and hydrated a lot. Also watch out for branches and downed trees!
Biking and Walking Survey (no, not that one)
Have you taken the city’s survey on walking and biking in Madison yet? You may think you have, but it’s possible that you were thinking of the Greater Madison MPO survey instead. Arguably, the city’s survey is even more important, as the data from it will be used to create what is effectively a bike network plan. So please take the time and take the survey.
A quick reminder that the City of Madison is updating its Pedestrian Plan and finalizing its All Ages and Abilities (AAA) Bike Network and we want to hear from you! Please complete a short survey to tell us about how and where you walk, bike, and roll in Madison and provide input on draft plan goals. The survey takes about 10 minutes to complete, and your responses are anonymous. Your input will inform the planning process and recommendations.
Someone was hit by a driver while biking on the Yahara River Trail (Ed Jepsen Way) and is looking for a witness. If you’re that person or have any other tips, please email us at info@madisonbikes.org and we’ll pass the information along:
There was a really lovely femme person who talked to me on the phone! Unfortunately, the police did not interview any of the witnesses, nor did they follow up for my friends statement like they said they would and they did not get any report of damages to their bike/other personal belongings. Additionally, the report does not specify that this person ran through a stop sign.
I am looking for folks who witnessed my friend get hit by a red mini van with IL plates on June 11th around 5:00 PM near the bike path on the Yahara River Trail, (near the river) on Main Street.
We’re just trying to gather info for them so that they can file a more accurate report.
Bike Benefits Spotlight Ride: Bandit Tacos
Bike Benefits encourages biking to local businesses through an incentive awarded to patrons who show up on a bike and display their Bike Benefits helmet sticker. Madison Bikes will periodically arrange spotlight rides to Bike Benefits businesses. If your business is interested in putting on a spotlight ride, contact Madison Bikes.
This week we are spotlighting Bandit Tacos as a Bike Benefits member. Join Motorless Motion for their Wednesday Bandit Tacos ride at 6PM on June 25 at 640 W Washington Ave. Craig Weinhold from Madison Bikes will accompany riders and fill us in on the latest plans for bike infrastructure along the route. His wealth of information always makes infrastructure fun. Discounted tacos are available after the ride, of course. For more information contact Brooke Carey at brooke@motorlessmotionbicycles.com.
Bike advocacy Discord server
There’s a new way to organize and chat about bike advocacy in the Madison area: Borne out of discussions at the Machinery Row bike advocacy meetups, there was a sense “that the Madison community could use a platform enabling more two-way communication and online community building.” As a result, Dan and Lauren created a Discord server. You can check out the server with this invite link (sorry, the previously posted link was expired):
Southwest and Southeast area plans at Transportation Commission
The process to create area plans for the southeast and southwest plan areas continues. These plans set a long-term vision for aspects such as housing, transportation, land use, and community facilities. This Wednesday, the Transportation Commission will get an update about the public input so far. You can submit public comment to the commission by emailing TransportationCommission@cityofmadison.com or registering for comment at the meeting at https://www.cityofmadison.com/city-hall/committees/meeting-schedule/register Here are two slides from the presentation about the plan:
Corrections: Wilson Street video link and Blackhawk Path
Last week’s newsletter had a link to a video from the (almost) open Wilson Street protected bike lane. Unfortunately, shortly after the newsletter went out, the video was taken down. Here’s the new link if you missed it: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/idpjKvixwqI
The newsletter also mentioned that the closure of the Blackhawk Path in Shorewood Hills was over. Several readers pointed out that the barriers are back now. You can find the latest construction updates here: https://www.madsewer.org/project/west-interceptor-shorewood-relief/
Metro buses with Madison Bike Week ads are out and about!
Let’s start with Madison Bike Week: We’re less than one month out. You may have seen a Bike Week ad on a Metro bus, or maybe you spotted one of our posters at a local business.
Event submission have been rolling in at a steady pace, and if I’m counting right, we’re at 21 events already. What are they? Well, you need to be a little patient still. We’ll reveal the initial schedule next Monday! In the meantime: Consider whether you want to organize an event yourself, or talk a friend, your employer, club, or anyone else into it. It’s free, it’s fun, and it builds community. Check our our FAQ or go straight to the registration form. Oh, and remember that we also offer small grants to Madison Bike Week event organizers!

Climate grant for Vel Phillips Memorial High School Bike Club
The City of Madison announced its latest Youth Action Climate Fund awards recently. Among the 17 funded project is a $5000 grant for the Memorial High School Bike Club.
The grant […] will help to fund essential tools, bike racks and storage equipment, while also supporting an upcoming field trip to Trek Bicycle’s global headquarters in Waterloo, Wisconsin. […]
“This grant really helps us make biking more accessible for students,” said Grace Riedle-Joranlien, Memorial art teacher and Bike Club advisor. “We want to create a culture where students feel empowered to ride to school and take care of their own bikes—where a flat tire or a broken chain isn’t a barrier.”
The club’s origin story is rooted in community partnerships and a strong student interest in biking. The Wisconsin Bike Fed, a nonprofit focused on increasing bike ridership across the state, approached the school last spring to gauge interest in launching a student-led club focused on bike mechanics, commuting and sustainability. Thanks in large part to the organization’s support, the club now meets weekly during lunch, offering students the chance to repair and refurbish unused bikes for school and community use.
Congrats to the students! Read the full news release here.
Construction starting on North Shore Drive Path
First signs of construction starting
This week marks the launch of construction of the first segment of a new multi-use path along the south north side of North Shore Drive. This will create a new connection from the SW Commuter Path to S Bedford St. And in a future phase, to done together with the John Nolen Drive reconstruction, the path will connect all the way to John Nolen Drive and to Bassett Street.
On the east side, two other bicycle improvement projects will start construction as well. See all the details here.
Apologies for the delay in getting this week’s newsletter sent to you.
Last year’s Bike Wash (Photo: Beth Skogen Photography)
Spring Bike Wash this SaturdaySunday!
The weather this week does not look too promising, but on SaturdaySunday things should be perfect for our Spring Bike Wash! From 2-4 pm, come join us and our friends from Freewheel on Clark Court (right next to Brittingham Park) to get that winter gunk off your bike and have the bike checked for safety and minor mechanical issues. You bring the bike; we bring the power washers, chain lube, rags, and mechanically inclined volunteers. Watch the news clip from last year’s event to get you in the mood! If the weather forecast starts looking questionable, please check the event’s Facebook page the day of for last minute updates.
A new street on the Southwest Side
The Transportation Commission is meeting Wednesday. One item of interest on their agenda: An extension of High Point Road at its southern end. The whole area, formerly home to the Marty Century Farm is being redeveloped.
Project locationOption with center turn lane
The proposed street would include unprotected on-street bike lanes and a multi-use path on one side of the street. The road would either be divided by a median or have a center two-way turn lane in the middle. The intersection with Raymond Road would either be a traditional intersection or a roundabout. If you have input on the design, you can email transportationcommission@cityofmadison.com or register to speak at the meeting. https://www.cityofmadison.com/city-hall/committees/meeting-schedule/register
Save the dates: Driving Federal Bike Safety Legislation & Two Wheels, Many Stories
Are you interested in getting involved in bike advocacy, but don’t know where to start? Join us April 23rd at Machinery Row to learn about progress being made on federal bike safety legislation, hear first hand accounts of advocacy work, and take action though a guided communication to your elected officials. Alicia Bosscher, Dirk Debbink, and Mike Ridgeman will share the story of Sarah Debbink Langenkamp’s tragic death to traffic violence, share details about the bill named after Sarah and its progress, and help attendees to write letters to their own representatives. Whether you’re a long time advocate or just getting started with bike advocacy, come by to learn something new and take action!
Please note that the event is from 7 to 8:30 PM, not from 6:30 to 8 PM as the graphic says.
Join Madison Bikes, in partnership with UW European Studies, in a speaker session and mini-documentary screening with Julia Bourdet, a French artist and author who traveled across the United States by bicycle and train, interviewing climate activists and collecting material for her upcoming graphic novel. The presentation will include previews of the upcoming book, which combines real-life observations, fictional storytelling, and journal fragments to create a story about climate and ecological awareness.
In keeping with her commitment to reducing her carbon footprint, Julia Bourdet will be joining us virtually from France to discuss her project and virtual mini documentary screening.
Door zone bike lanes on an all ages and abilities street?
On Wednesday, the Transportation Commission has early feedback on the Pflaum Road project on the agenda. The agenda item doesn’t have a presentation attached yet, but there was a public meeting last week that showed a proposed layout.
Current conditions on Pflaum: No bike infrastructure at all
According to the city’s Complete Green Streets policy, Pflaum Road is on the All-Ages-and-Abilities bike network, that is, a street where policy is “to prioritize high-comfort bikeways.” However, the city is proposing to add a “door zone,” unprotected bike lane, squeezed in between car parking on one side and car traffic on the other.
Another item on the commission’s agenda: Reviewing the 2024 Annual Transportation Operations Report. There are lots of interesting facts and figures about transportation in Madison in the report. Among them, on page 14, is an overview of the bicycle improvements that were completed last year:
Stoughton Road North public hearing
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation is hosting a public hearing about their Stoughton Road North project on MondayTuesday. This section of the project goes from Highway 30 to Anderson Road/Highway CV. A separate project covers the section south of there.
Most notably for people on bikes, WisDOT is showing a new shared use path along Stoughton Road from Highway 30 to Kinsman, and then from Hoepker north. This leaves a large gap along the airport — apparently there are some sort of FAA regulations that don’t allow a new path to be built there.
The public hearing will be at Madison College – Truax Building, Conference Room D1630, from 4 to 7 pm. You can also provide written testimony by emailing jeff.berens@dot.wi.gov
Two bike touring events this week!
On SaturdaySunday (!), join us for our bike packing and bike touring 101 and social! The event is geared both toward folks who are curious about or new to bike packing and touring, as well as more experienced folks. We’ll have a presentation about fundamentals, and then several community members will share their experiences doing different styles of bike touring, followed by a social. We’ll be at the Goodman Center in the Merryl Lynch Room from 2 to 4 pm. You can bring your own food and drink (but no alcohol).
If you’d rather keep your biking more local, Cool Bikes North is hosting a Bicycle Show ‘n’ Tell on Local Bike Routes on Thursday.
Come by March 20th for this free event from 6-8pm, and hear what our selection of local riders and routemakers have to offer for your spring riding inspiration!
This position helps fulfill the mission of our agency by advancing Madison’s sustainability, safety, and equity goals through innovative transportation planning initiatives. This role leads the implementation and maintenance of the City’s Complete Green Streets policy while supporting other key transportation plans, programs, and policies. By collaborating across departments, engaging with stakeholders, and refining planning processes, this position ensures Madison’s transportation system is equitable, efficient, and sustainable.
Vote vote vote!
A quick reminder to vote in the April 1 elections! In addition to the State Supreme Court, school board, and a constitutional referendum, all seats on the city council are up for election. Madison Bikes and a couple partner orgs sent a questionnaire to all candidates to help educate voters. See their answers here: https://www.madisonbikes.org/madison-spring-elections-2025/
Military Ridge closure in Verona
A lot of highway expansion projects are happening out by Epic in Verona. One of them is leading to a temporary closure of the Military Ridge Trail. WisDOT says that the work will be be done by Memorial Day and will include underpass improvements to mitigate (but not eliminate) flooding. Our board member Craig put together this visual of the closure and its detour:
Syene Rd path closure
Fitchburg is preparing to rebuild the intersection of Syene Rd, McCoy Rd, and the Cap City Trail. We’ll discuss this in more detail in future updates, but for now the path to the south is closed. Enjoy biking on Syene!
