Decorating bikes and rallying for Bike to Work Week


The Wisconsin State Journal called it "visually quirky"

Many Thanks!

Many thanks to the volunteers who make this event what it is, year after year. Hauling around the bikes, storing and maintaining them is a lot of work! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!










This year, we especially want to thank Ann, who is new to the rally scene. Her creativity and contributions were awesome! Thanks Ann!

BTW, nice spare socks!

Bike Party

The annual 2008 Art Bike Rally was a success!! Over 50 riders and their excellent bikes made it to the rally. This year, we had the some old favorites and some new bikes as well. The classic grass bike with a new mohawk helmet was in full effect. Orgami bike was lovely as usual...

Because of a glitch in the PA system, the riders had to be extra creative this year. We made up some chants and talked to people along the way. Bike to work, Bike to work! Yada yada yada yada BIKE!

I believe this model is a newby to the rally. Love the sparkle and leather.

It's here!

It's that time of year! Finally the spring shows itself and biking season is in full swing.
Congrats to you hardcore bikers who biked to work all winter long. In my opinion, that was quite a feat!

Bike to Work Week coming up fast...find a complete calendar of events at the Bike Fed website. Thanks to the Bike Federation for organizing this week of events and inspiring more people to ride bikes! Also, thanks to Budget Bicycle for sponsoring the Art Bike Rally. This event is always a memorable for the people who participate and those to see it. The rally is a great visual medium to get people thinking about riding their bikes!

If you've never participated before, make this year your first! It's easy! Just show up with your bike and ride around the square, twice!
