Lake Express Ferry Conducting Annual Bike Drive

MILWAUKEE – The Lake Express Ferry will be supporting bicycle charities again this year with its annual bike drive this Friday, April 26th from 8 a.m. to noon at the Lake Express Terminal, 2330 S. Lincoln Memorial Drive.

Lake Express will provide a complimentary round-trip passenger ticket to the first 500 donors who bring in a gently used bicycle to the Lake Express terminal. Donations will benefit Dream Bikes and Sixteenth Street Community Health Centers. Bikes donated to Sixteenth Street will be distributed at its annual Bike Day on June 15 at Kosciuszko Park in Milwaukee. Bike day is a community-based event that brings the neighborhood together to encourage physical activity and healthy eating.

Since 2010, Lake Express has collected more than 8,000 bicycles that have been distributed through organizations in Milwaukee, Madison, Chicago, and internationally.

Donors can deliver a gently used bicycle on Friday, April 26th to the Lake Express Ferry terminal. There is a limit of one certificate per person/household. Donors will receive a certificate by mail, redeemable for one round-trip classic cabin ticket. Vouchers are valid only for the donor and may not be transferred or sold.
