Bicycling in Madison : Voted Among the Nation’s Best for a Reason!

Bike leaning against a brick wall

Madison is one of the top Bicycling Cities in the Nation! In 1972 Madison began the move to make our city a bicyclist’s community. Now we have a network of off-street paths and bike lanes, road signals and more. With off-road and on-road bike paths, there’s plenty to choose from for the seasoned cyclist to the young or inexperienced.

Here, bicyclists are expected to obey the rules of the road just like any motorist. In return, we pay them the same respect : bike paths get plowed after snow storms (yes, we even have winter cyclists!) and debris is actively cleared. As a very bike-friendly city, motorists and pedestrians are actively aware and considerate of the bicyclist’s whereabouts.

City of Madison has been a great resource in collaborating this information. Visit their website to do your own research!
