Looking For a New Bike Route?
Below are a few of our favorite routes to bike in La Crosse. Hop on a Drift Cycle or grab your personal bike and start riding. Our mission is not only to promote an accessible mode of transportation but to get everybody outside and moving.
Kane Steet Community Garden Ride
The Kane Street Garden is the perfect way to spend some time outside helping the community. The garden is located on the north side of La Crosse and is always looking for volunteers to help with weeding, watering, and harvesting. Bike over on a Monday, Thursday, or Saturday and you might just fill your tote bag with some fresh produce.

Looking for a pretty ride without a specific destination?

The Marsh trails are a great way to be surrounded by La Crosses beautiful environment while also avoiding busy streets.
