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 25th 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 the Wisconsin Bike Fed and Sixteenth Street Community Health Centers. Bikes donated to Sixteenth Street will be distributed at its annual Bike Day at Kosciuszko Park in Milwaukee. Bike day is a community-based event that brings the neighborhood together to encourage physical activity and healthy eating.
