Madison supports youth bike education and events

(Transcript)
KL: The city of Madison is dedicated to bike education and access for children.

An example of this is Madison’s Safe Routes to School program. It encourages children to walk and bike to school. This program is dedicated to improving traffic safety, getting kids more active, improving air quality around schools and most importantly, instructing kids how to walk and bike safely.

This is a cause that Colleen Hayes supports. Hayes is the Pedestrian Bicycle Outreach Coordinator for the City of Madison. She is involved with getting citizens engaged with biking. She works especially closely with kids and supports bike events around Madison.

CH: “Kids, we’re always like listen, you want to get a bike because then a bike is your route to freedom, just because you don’t have to rely on your parents to drive you everywhere. If you need to go somewhere you can get somewhere quickly on a bike. The city supports bike accessibility in different unique ways: just my role and just sharing resources with people who are working with youth.”

KL: A classic event in Madison is Ride the Drive. Every year since 2009, more than 4 miles of city streets are closed for this free, family-friendly event. Bikers, walkers, rollerbladers and more are invited for a community ride.

Ride the Drive encourages healthy lifestyles for Madison families. It emphasizes environmental and economic impact of hosting community socials. Over the years, the event has seen over 20,000 families attend. 

The event is organized by the City of Madison Parks Division. Parks along the route offer activity stops. Ride the Drive also features food and live music. 

Ride the Drive is one of Hayes’ favorite Madison biking events.

CH: “I would say right now the big things are this Ride the Drive. I really love it because it’s it’s like all inclusive and kids can ride bikes, and there’s more organizations that are doing things like Bikes for Kids Wisconsin. You try and make it so that riders of all ages and abilities can feel included and connected to the event.”

KL: This year’s Ride the Drive will take place on Sunday, August 11. 

Bike safety and education is paramount in the city of Madison. Where will your 2 wheels take you next?
