EnglishHow to Find and Join Wisconsin Bike Fed Events and Rides
Updated
Wisconsin Bike Fed lists its rides, rallies, and community events on the Event Calendar at wisconsinbikefed.org, and each event page carries the details you need to take part. To join, open the calendar or the specific event page, check the date and location, and use the "Info/Register" link where one is shown. The homepage also surfaces featured events directly, so you can often spot the next ride without digging through the calendar.
Where to Find Events
The site organizes participation in two main ways:
- Event Calendar — the full listing of upcoming dates, including community events with city labels such as Milwaukee, WI.
- Bike Fed Events section — dedicated pages for the organization's signature and recurring rides, each with its own description and registration path.
The homepage excerpt shows both working together: upcoming community events appear with dates and locations (for example, "Oct 31 Annual Fete Ghede Ride & Ancestor Celebration — Milwaukee, WI" and "Nov 08 Annual Veteran's Day Ride"), while the Bike Fed Events block links to the flagship rides.
Signature Rides and Events
These are the events named on the site, with what the listing says about each:
| Event | What it is |
|---|---|
| Santa Cycle Rampage | A "very merry slow roll" to start the holiday season; a Milwaukee date appears in the community events list |
| Ride Across Wisconsin (RAW) | The organization's signature fundraising event, described as a great way to see Wisconsin |
| Wisconsin Bike Week | A themed week built around "Bikes Build Community" |
| Ride For Your Life 2026 | A bike ride, walk, and rally aimed at preventing tragedy |
| Community rides and rallies | Local events such as the Annual Fete Ghede Ride & Ancestor Celebration and the Annual Veteran's Day Ride |
How to Join
- Open the Event Calendar on wisconsinbikefed.org to see what's coming up, or go straight to the page for a specific event such as Santa Cycle Rampage or RAW.
- Check the date and location on the listing. Community events show a city (most listed examples are in Milwaukee, WI); signature rides have their own event pages with fuller details.
- Follow the registration link. The homepage uses an "Info/Register" link for joining; where an event page provides registration or sign-up information, use that path.
- Confirm before traveling. The site does not publish a single universal registration process for every event, so treat each event page as the authority for that ride.
Beyond Riding: Other Ways the Calendar Connects You
The same events and programs area covers participation that isn't a ride:
- Advocacy events — for example, "Make Your Voice Heard" legislative and local advocacy items, and an election watch party listed as a fundraiser.
- Fundraisers — such as the "Indeed We Can" fundraiser for Bike Fed.
- Training and programs — "How to Host a Bike Rodeo" train-the-trainer classes and Mobile Bike Repair in Madison and Milwaukee neighborhoods.
If your goal is to ride, start with the calendar and the signature event pages. If your goal is to get involved in advocacy or volunteering, the same listings point to those opportunities.
Common Snags
- Event pages vs. calendar: the calendar gives you dates and cities; the individual event page gives you the registration path. Check both.
- Seasonal timing: some events are tied to a season or holiday (Santa Cycle Rampage in December, Halloween safety content in October), so listings change through the year.
- Location spread: listed community events cluster in Milwaukee, while RAW is statewide in scope — confirm the start point on the event page before planning travel.
