Step-by-step itinerary

Milwaukee E-Bike City Skyline Tour

• Stop at Milwaukee Art Museum
• Visit Bronze Fonz statue
• Ride along Milwaukee lakefront

The experience

The tour starts at the Milwaukee Art Museum, where you stop to photograph the building's distinctive architecture rising above Lake Michigan and hear from your guide about its cultural place in the city. From there the route heads downtown to the Bronze Fonz, a statue inspired by the classic television show that filmed scenes in Milwaukee. You pause for photos and learn the story of the show's connection to the city. The e-bike does the work on hills and longer stretches, so the pace stays comfortable even if you haven't cycled in years.

The final leg follows Milwaukee's lakefront, where you ride along Lake Michigan with panoramic views of the water and the city skyline. This section is built for photo stops and for taking in the outdoor landscape from a perspective you don't get from the street. The shared group keeps numbers small enough that the guide can answer questions at each stop without rushing the group forward.
