Bundle up and ride: Winter Bike to Work Week underway

The organizers of the effort to get people to bike to work through the winter are holding “Madison’s First Winter Bike to Work Week” from Feb. 12-19.

Promotional events continue throughout the week and culminate in a costume bike race at 8:30 a.m. Sunday on Capitol Square with the Madison Winter Festival.

During the week, vendors will be offering free coffee to riders along bike paths.
