Bicycles
Bicycling plays an important role in moving people in Wisconsin, many of whom rely on or choose this form of travel for their main means of transportation. Studies show that as many as 5% of commuters in Wisconsin bicycle to work during peak months.
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation recently released a state bicycle plan to help communities and individuals develop bicycle-friendly facilities throughout the state. All 14 metropolitan areas in Wisconsin also have their own bicycle and pedestrian plans.
