Posted on October 4, 2012 by steveroche

The Wisconsin Bike Fed is hosting five different Fed Fests around the state of Wisconsin during the month of October. Bike Fed Milwaukee is hosting one of them at their new Milwaukee offices, located right off the Hank Aaron State Trail at 3618 W. Pierce, on Sunday, October 7th.

“The Wisconsin Bike Fed is hosting five Fed Fests across the state this fall as a chance to ride, enjoy some food and beverages and celebrate what we love about bicycling in our state. Join us in Appleton, Eau Claire, La Crosse, Madison, or Milwaukee. The Bike Fed inspires, motivates, and unites a strong and diverse community to move bicycling forward in Wisconsin. We couldn’t be happier to team up with our bicycling friends around the state to celebrate biking at Fed Fest! Please RSVP for all the Fed Fests here.
