Polish Moon Ride inspires desire to bike Milwaukee
Mariachi Band
On Friday night Team Decker/Fjelstad ventured to Milwaukee to participate in the Polish Moon Ride. The ride, organized by the Bike Federation of Wisconsin was a tour through Milwaukee’s old Polish neighborhood. Now, predominantly a Latino neighborhood, the ride was a fantastic experience! Great company, great weather and great music. Yes, great music. Any event with a Mariachi band playing beforehand seems like a solid event to me.
Fun fact: Latinos love Polka music!
So, aside from the shock of Mexican’s loving polka music what did I take away from the ride? Well, there are a lot of cool places in Milwaukee where I’d like to have drinks.
Job #1: The Horny Goat Brewery
Others also enjoyed the evening. If you have time I recommend the short post linked below from former Madison Mayor and current Bike Fed Executive Director, Dave Cieslewicz:
Madison to Milwaukee Trip to the Polish Moon is a Blast
Bike Maps
So what is the next step in biking Milwaukee? Good maps are a “must have” item. If you read Mayor Dave’s post he mentions a lack of signage as he got close to Milwaukee. My solution to dealing with this issue… maps!
- Local city/county bike maps (DOT)
- Bike Maps by County (DOT)
- North Milwaukee and South Milwaukee
- State Cartographer’s Office
We’re planning a Milwaukee ride for some time in August. Stay tuned and I’ll let you know how things go. RIDE ON!
