Wisconsin Bicycle Routes
About Us
Wisconsin Bicycle Routes was created by Bruce Thompson who became frustrated by the lack of a good source of information suggesting good bike routes around Wisconsin, especially those combining trails and roads. I enjoy exploring the byways and bike trails of Wisconsin, especially when accompanied by my wife Kathleen and daughter Laura. One of my most interesting projects was researching a bicycle map of Milwaukee and southeast Wisconsin.

In other spheres I serve on the Milwaukee school board, started a software company, and owned a Montessori school. I am currently a professor and program director for three graduate programs at Milwaukee School of Engineering.

  • Schools Now was a blog devoted to Milwaukee educational issues. It has been quiet lately, partly because it has already covered many of the issues I find most compelling, but mainly because I have recently become more of an actor, and less of a commentator, on the Milwaukee educational scene.
  • In 2004, I started editing a journal called Third Education Group Review. Because of a disagreement with the co-founder about an article I published and his decision to publish a rival journal under the same name, it has since changed its name to Independent Education Review. The mission of the journal is to provoke serious discussion of educational policy issues. It is available on-line.
  • I am also involved with a new group that hopes to recruit and elect stronger candidates for the Milwaukee School Board, called Advocates for Student Achievement.
