MADISON, Wis. — Madison bicyclists pedaled with a purpose Sunday, making sure everyone has access to healthy food.
‘Bike the Barns’ returned for the first time since the pandemic. Participants biked about 50 miles around Madison, through fields and forests. The event is FairShare Community Supported Agriculture’s largest fundraiser.
“It’s a concept that I think makes a lot of sense,” cyclist Leslie Taylor said. “You can help the farmers at the beginning of the season, and then they have your money to grow what they grow.”
Proceeds from the ride also benefited the Partner Shares program, which helps low-income families afford farm-fresh vegetables.
