MILWAUKEE: The Wisconsin Bike Fed announces its annual Wisconsin Bike Week June 1 – 9, 2024. With festivities scheduled around the state, Bike Week is an opportunity to celebrate life by bike and promote local businesses. This year’s theme is “Bikes Mean Business” which focuses on highlighting businesses that are bike friendly and demonstrates how bikes are good for tourism and the local economy.
“We encourage residents to enjoy festivities and also show support for local bike shops, restaurants, and stores during Bike Week,” explains Bike Fed Events Manager Heather Rainer. “Taking time to thank businesses that provide bike accessibility, amenities, and discounts helps inspire the community’s biking culture and enhance overall quality of life.”
Wisconsin Bike Week is supported by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation and Numbers 4 Nonprofits, as well as recognized by Proclamation from Governor Evers. Scheduled events can be found on the Bike Fed’s online event calendar and searched by date, city, or the full “Bike Week” category.

About the Wisconsin Bike Fed
The Bicycle Federation of Wisconsin Educational Foundation, Inc. (AKA Wisconsin Bike Fed) was established as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in 1988 to cultivate, motivate, and unite residents, communities, businesses, and political leaders to move bicycling forward in Wisconsin through education, legislation, and involvement. For over 35 years the Bike Fed has been the only statewide organization that advocates for better bicycling for everyone who rides a bike in Wisconsin.
