RoundTrip Greater Madison and Madison BCycle are partnering to host beginner-friendly “how-to" group rides. These events are designed to help community members build the basic skills and confidence they need to use bikeshare to get to work, school, appointments, and other everyday destinations.
Each ride includes practical, hands-on guidance, including:
- A walkthrough of the Madison BCycle app and how to get a pass
- Orientation to the features of BCycle e-bikes and tips for safe riding
- Trip planning tools and resources
- Information about the Dane County Emergency Ride Home program for commuters who don't drive alone to work/school
- Other transportation topics tailored to your group
Madison BCycle will deliver bikes to your starting location and provide discounted rates for participants at $15 per bike ($225 for a full group). RoundTrip Greater Madison will help plan the route, coordinate event details, and provide on-site staff support—and when available, provide funding support for nonprofit organizations.
Rides are up to five miles in length and limited to 15 riders to ensure a good experience for everyone. Your group recruits participants—we'll help with the rest.
