The Mad Biker Blog
Hi. I'm Brian, a resident of Madison's East Side.
The Mad Biker Blog is about my observations
and experiences being a bicycle commuter in Madison and other things related to health and
wellbeing - physical, mental and emotional - from my sometimes unique and peculiar
perspective.
I'll often use mapmyride.com to share routes, show hazards, path proposals and other things. My
username there is "buzzwig." I'll use the code words "WantMadPath" to show paths or features I would
like the city to add, and "MadPathHazard" to show hazards I encounter or that you send me. Other code
words could be added too.
Please comment or e-mail! I want this blog to promote community and sharing in the spirit of Madison
and the enjoyment of living, biking and being in it.

I finished the map of the Southwest Commuter Trail. Yes, I know it's getting cold already. But that means you won't have to sweat so much as you ride. The Southwest Commuter Trail is an amazing time saver for people who actually... >>>
