Madison’s Ride the Drive… Milwaukee’s Bike Brady?

Sep 2nd, 2009 | By | Category: Bicycling, Madison, Neighborhoods

Ride the Drive? Just seventy miles to the west, a successful car-free day, often referred to as a Ciclovía or in the U.S. Sunday Streets, brought thousands of people out of their homes, and into the street to enjoy their city. At its simplest one of these events, closes off a few miles of city streets to automobile traffic for the day, much like a street festival does, but larger and it doesn’t focus on food, beer, and music.



UPAF, My Ride, and Sunday Streets for Milwaukee?

Jun 9th, 2009 | By | Category: Bicycling, Neighborhoods, Park East, Walker's Point

This past weekend I took part in the United Performing Arts Fund’s 29th annual Miller Lite Ride for the Arts, it was great to see thousands of people show up bright and early to take part in the ride. This event brought together two goals, supporting the arts and promoting more bike riding, that fit perfectly with the creation of a vibrant city. The day of the ride was cold, and it rained part of the way through, but the experience of seeing so much of Milwaukee at a pace where you can actually take it in got me thinking.
