If so, then you're invited.

The Bicycle Federation of Wisconsin (BFW), a statewide, nonprofit, bicycle advocacy organization with more than 2,700 members, throws a Love Your Bike party this Friday, Feb. 1.

The party is about building community and working to make Wisconsin a better place to bicycle through education and advocacy. It welcomes bikers all of kinds, from racers, to recreational riders, to mountain bikers to commuters.

The party, at 144 N. Jefferson St. from 7 to 10:30 p.m., includes bike-themed art by local artists Peter DiAntoni, Eric Von Munz and Harvey Opgenorth, a silent auction for bike gear and food and drinks from Beans & Barley, Wisconsin Cheese Mart and Benno's Bar & Grill.

It costs $10 or is free with a first-time purchase of a BFW membership.
