Santa Cycle Rampage
media release: Sleigh what?? That's right folks, the Madison Santa Cycle Rampage is BACK for it's third annual biking tradition! Your are invited to come celebrate the festive season and support Dane County youth advocacy and education! This year's ride will be a 4-5 mile slow roll with kids at the lead. We highly encourage everyone to dress in festive attire or your favorite holiday-themed costume -- we'll be jingling all the way!
Registration fees support the Bike Fed's Safe Routes to School programs and other K-12 initiatives. One of the Bike Fed's main goals is to provide students with the skills and understandings around alternative transportation as a means of everyday autonomy. We believe that transportation literacy beyond cars is fundamental for everyone, whether that is getting to school or the park, local grocery markets and other stores, or just around the neighborhood.
By participating in this ride, you're supporting another year of skills learning, clinic sharing, and classroom education for Dane County.
Begin your festive ride at one of the designated meeting points below or join the crowd at Breese Stevens Field! Departure times coming soon!
