Due to the recent cuts to the bike budget in state government funding, the bicycle pathways along the Transport 2020 corridor will be put on hold until further notice. This will also result in less bicycle-related infrastructure and the cancellation of 50 percent of current bicycle programs. These cuts will have a detrimental affect on the use of bicycles as a form of public transport; however the state government is offering a some recompensation in the form of a 20% government-funded rebate for individuals who purchase a mountain bike online before the end of December 2012. For more details, visit the Wisconsin State Government website.
