What an incredible day!

This past weekend, Bike Forward was proud to co-host an event supporting one of our previous beneficiaries, The Ability Center.

We had the opportunity to meet so many amazing people, reconnect with friends, and most importantly, see firsthand the impact of the adaptive hand cycles that Bike Forward supporters helped fund.

There was nothing better than watching riders enjoy the lakeside views, fresh air, exercise, and camaraderie that these bikes make possible. The smiles on their faces were a powerful reminder of why we do what we do.

We're excited to continue cheering on The Ability Center as they move forward with their incredible vision for the future. Be sure to follow their progress as they work toward breaking ground on the Moss Universal Park.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support Bike Forward WI. Your generosity is creating opportunities, connections, and experiences that truly change lives.

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.
