On August 30, the City of Madison’s first Ride the Drive event will open up a 6-mile route through the center of the city to bicyclists, pedestrians, skaters, and strollers at what organizers are describing as a “car–free, care free celebration of Madison”. Madison Children’s Museum will get in on the fun, with a “Stroller Brigade Mini Parade”. Stop by the decorating station outside the museum from noon-1 p.m. to decorate your strollers, bikes, and wagons, then join us for a toddler-friendly mini parade down the first two blocks of State Street.
