MILWAUKEE – The Wisconsin Bike Fed proudly announces Wisconsin Bike Week May 31 – June 7, 2026. Building on the success of previous years, this statewide celebration invites residents, businesses, organizations, and communities to experience how bikes build stronger, healthier, and more connected communities.
Events Manager Heather Rainer explains that “This year’s theme of ‘Bikes Build Community’ highlights the ways bicycling connects neighbors, supports local economies, improves public health, and creates welcoming spaces for people of all ages and abilities. Wisconsin Bike Week will feature rides, educational programs, advocacy training, commuter stations, family-friendly activities, and community celebrations happening across the state.
