History of Bicycling in Rice County with Tim Madigan

Calling all cyclists! Have you ever taken a ride on the Sakatah Singing Hills State Trail or gone on a jaunt around town?

If you have, you are a part of over 100 years of cycling history in Rice County. Throughout the years, everything from the paths we ride to the types of bicycles have changed. Learn more about the local history of cycling with Tim Madigan in the latest installment of our Thursday night speaker series!
