Casual Bike Rides

Slow-Paced Wednesday Night Rides

Wheels out at 5:35 PM

All skill levels are welcome! Riders need to be at least 16 years old, or accompanied by an adult. All riders are strongly encouraged to wear bike helmets and bright colors, as well as understand and follow the rules of the road.


All rides are free; however, rides on the Mountain Bay Trail outside of Shawano city limits require a state trail pass ($5/day or $25/annual). Passes can be purchased through Shawano Pathways, Chamber of Commerce, City Hall, County Courthouse, County Park, or Friends of Mountain Bay Trail.  Please arrive a few minutes prior to planned departure time.


In case of inclement weather or cancelations of the bike ride, check Friends of Mountain Bay Trail - Shawano County Facebook page, or call/text Donna at 715-851-5803

Moderately-Paced Rides

Consider joining the Shawano Freewheelers on their Tuesday and Saturday rides.  With an average pace of 15-18 mph and average distance of 20 miles, it's not too fast or too slow.  A nice social ride on back country roads.


If you'd like to join us, please call the day before the ride to confirm the starting point.  For more information, please call or text Vicki Dallmann at 715-584-2762.


Note: Some of the Saturday rides may be longer.  Schedule subject to change.
