SHEBOYGAN – Sheboygan Active Transportation brings back “Bike & Walk Week” to encourage community members to seek alternative transportation.

The group is partnering with Wisconsin Bike Fed, also celebrating Wisconsin Bike Week, to host the event June 1-8. Sheboygan-area residents are encouraged to utilize other types of transportation to school, work or other events.

Activities during the week will also be held at the Sheboygan Uptown Parklet, between Paradigm Coffee & Music and 8th Street Ale Haus.

Sheboygan Active Transportation aims to make Sheboygan — which holds a Bronze level Bicycle Friendly City designation from the League of America Bicyclists — a more accessible, walkable and bikeable city. It advocates locally and supports small businesses in creating safer streets, sidewalks and trails.
