Food for Thought: the Madison [Wisconsin} Bicycle Center

[Tim Athan]

The Madison Bicycle Center, a partnership between the city of Madison and the nonprofit Madison Freewheel Bicycle Co., is designed to be a membership-based home for Madison’s bike commuters, providing a variety of amenities to make riding to work on two wheels seem like an attractive alternative. It features showers, changing rooms, space for locking up 150 bikes indoors and mechanics who will complete same-day repairs for members. Memberships will cost $50 per month or $5 per day.
