Ride the Drive - 82 Participants Get Free Bike Adjustments From Wheels for Winners During this Fantastic Event!

Wheels for Winners had a bike adjustment tent at McPike Park for Madison’s Ride the Drive on August 11. Eighty-two event participants got free adjustments for their bikes plus 1 Razor scooter. According to Wheels Mechanic Alan Crossley “There were lots of heartfelt thank yous and admiration for what our organization does.   A HUGE success.”  

The event was fantastic and the great weather made it more so! There were great free events at city parks all along the route including Edward Klief, Britingham, Olin, Law, R. Richard Wagner and McPike parks. Five major city streets were closed to automobile traffic so people could enjoy riding their bikes unimpeded.

Madison City Parks Department website describes the event…Ride the Drive began in 2009 as an event celebrating Madison’s commitment to healthy, active living. The event brings thousands of happy people together to experience parks and open streets in a single, one-day, free, community event.
