Biking questions

Does the MKEstuff map plan a turn-by-turn bike route?

No. It shows the facilities and trail segments in the current City and County public datasets. Use it to inspect a corridor, then check the official live maps and conditions before riding.

Can I take a bike on an MCTS bus?

Yes. MCTS says every bus has a front rack for up to 2 bikes, available first-come, first-served. Standard, road, mountain, and some electric bikes fit; tandem, recumbent, and tricycle designs do not.

Does the Oak Leaf Trail stay off streets?

No. Milwaukee County says portions follow parkway drives and municipal streets. The map distinguishes trail and street facilities, but you should follow posted signs and traffic controls along the route.

Where can I report a damaged bike rack or request a new one?

Use the City bike parking page. Anyone may request a rack, and the same form accepts reports about racks that need repair or replacement.

Are mountain bike trails always open?

No. County trails may close because of mud, weather, maintenance, or events. Use the County mountain-bike conditions page before leaving.
