We’re incredibly proud of the impact we’re making together. In 2025, Bike Forward WI was honored to support Gilda's Club Wisconsin with a $25,000 investment to help expand no-cost cancer support services across our state.

Their words say it best:

"Gilda’s Club Madison Wisconsin was honored to join forces with Bike Forward in 2025 to help improve the lives of people facing cancer across Wisconsin. Thanks to the generosity, care, and dedication of the Bike Forward team, who raised an incredible $25,000, we can continue offering our cancer support services at no cost to members while expanding our reach throughout the state. We are deeply grateful for partners who align so closely with our mission and who are willing to share their passion for wellness while strengthening the communities they serve. Thank you, Bike Forward, for making yet another meaningful stride toward a healthier, more connected Wisconsin."

— Gilda's Club Wisconsin

Partnerships like this are exactly why we ride. Next up: our 2026 goal of raising even more for organizations doing life-changing work.

Seven years. $100,000 invested in meaningful causes. So much real impact. ✨

This milestone belongs to our entire community. Thank you for helping turn generosity into action — and here’s to everything ahead. 💛

Seven years. One incredible milestone.

Together, we’ve invested $100,000 into causes that truly matter — and we’ve seen firsthand how that support turns into real change across our community. That’s $100K of impact, made possible by people like you.

We’re so grateful for everyone who’s been part of this journey — and we’re excited to keep building in the year ahead.

Happy New Year from all of us at Bike Forward WI! 🎉

As we roll into a new year, we’re reflecting on the miles ridden, the community built, and the impact made together. Because of you — our riders, donors, volunteers, sponsors, and supporters — Bike Forward continues to move our mission forward and support incredible local causes right here in Wisconsin.

Here’s to a year ahead filled with more rides, more connection, and more opportunities to make a difference — one pedal stroke at a time. 💙

Thank you for being part of this community. We can’t wait to ride with you in the year ahead.

🚴‍♀️✨

There’s something special about the kind of people who choose to ride for a cause. 🚲❤️

A huge and heartfelt thank you to all who participated in the annual ride this year, but especially Dustin, Mike, and Matt from Bike Forward WI for the miles, FUNdraising, and generosity you’ve poured into our community this year. Together with their riders, they raised an incredible $25,000—fueling free cancer support programs for individuals and families across Wisconsin.

If you’re looking for a fun, welcoming group to ride with next year, we can’t recommend this crew enough. All are welcome, so send them a DM and get on their rider list for 2026. You’ll gain more than miles, you’ll gain community.

Thank you, Bike Forward WI, for reminding us that when we move together, we move hope forward.

🎉 We did it!

Bike Forward WI is thrilled to share that thanks to our incredible riders, donors, sponsors, and community supporters, we were able to present a $25,000 check to Gilda's Club Madison this week. ❤️

This donation directly supports free emotional support, programming, and resources for families facing cancer right here in our community.

To every person who rode, donated, volunteered, or cheered us on — thank you. Your generosity continues to move our mission forward and make a meaningful difference.

🚴‍♂️💛 Here’s to kindness, community, and the power of coming together.
