The Bike Fed’s 4th Annual Wisconsin Bike Summit was a big success. Nearly 400 bike enthusiasts from every corner of the state made the trip to our Capitol to learn about bicycle infrastructure and programming, share success stories, and meet with their elected officials to support cycling and ensure every ride we take in Wisconsin safe, enjoyable, and fun.

The Ask
During the Lobby Day component of the Bike Summit, bike enthusiasts met with legislators in every corner of the state to discuss two very important opportunities to improve bicycling in Wisconsin: Passage of a Vulnerable Users Bill and creation of a consistent, dedicated state funding source for bicycling. You can read more about these two asks here. Stay tuned for additional ways that you can join with us to make these two “asks” a reality.

How do you register and what are the costs?
Registration will open next Tuesday, and the fee will be $35. If you are a member, you will get an email about registration.
One of my colleagues thought I could register for a particular breakout session, such as session 3-B and pay $10. Is this true, or does this only apply to breakfast sessions? Thanks.
Jennifer, you can indeed register for a single session at the bike summit.
