Its time to gear up for Bike to Work Week
Well, it's not exactly summer-like just yet, but perhaps that's all the more reason to hop on the bike and get your blood flowing. It's Bike to Work Week (BTWW) in Milwaukee and aside from saving a few bucks on gas and gaining a little muscle in the calves, there are plenty of reasons to keep the car in park this week.

On the town in Milwaukee: European touches, dive bars and local flavor
I started to come up a variety of ideal nights on the town, based on the friends you're with, the ambiance you want to create and overall the price you want to pay. Where would you go if you were only in Milwaukee for one night?

Best bar for day drinking, 2009: The Nomad
If hanging out in taverns and getting loaded in broad daylight is a regular occurrence for you, and you don't hold a third-shift job, well, you might have a problem. On the other hand, if every once and a while, on a hot summer afternoon or during a Packers' Sunday, you make the commitment to tying one before noon, then day drinking can be pretty cool.
