In addition, a number of stakeholder organizations have also been participating: Wausau Wheelers, Wausau Area Running Club, Friends of the Mountain Bay Trail, etc.

Bicycling in WI
Bicycles are considered “vehicles” on Wisconsin roadways. That means bicyclists must obey the rules of the road like any other vehicle and must be treated as equal users by all other vehicles. Visit the WI Department of Transportation’s website to learn more about the rules of the road.
