We take biking to the platinum level
No, seriously. Madison is 1 of only 5 Platinum-Level Bike-Friendly Communities in the U.S. which means biking in Madison isn't just a hobby, it's a culture. One that's easy to join with help from 80 BCycle stations that host a fleet of 500 rentable electric bikes. Our bike trails sprawl through downtown and connect our vibrant neighborhoods to the surrounding countryside, meaning there's always a ride to fit your vibe.
Scenes you'll find only in Madison
Wide open landscapes. Jaw-dropping scenery. All with the iconic Madison skyline in the background.
You can walk from Lake Mendota to Lake Monona via the Capitol in fewer than 30 minutes, and you're never more than a 10-minute walk from a park. Whether you're wanting to SUP on the water or sip on the patio, there's an outdoor adventure waiting for you.
