Bike Forward WI

Sometimes the greatest impact doesn't come from grand gestures—it comes from simply showing up.

This beautiful story, written by Gilda's Club Wisconsin, isn't just about Bike Forward. It's about the power of friendship, selflessness, and what can happen when people commit to doing good together. We're incredibly honored to have been part of Gilda's Club's mission this past year and grateful to everyone who has ridden, donated, volunteered, and believed in what we're building.

Thank you, Gilda's Club Wisconsin, for sharing our story so beautifully. We hope you'll take a few minutes to read it. ❤️🚲

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.
