The Bike Swap is Saturday, January 18th 2025!

Find out all the details here.

The Brazen Dropouts Bike Swap is a one-day event held annually in January in Madison, WI that connects folks with bike stuff to sell with people who want to buy it. Over 150 vendors register to sell stuff like cycling attire, shoes, frames, forks, cranks, pedals -- you name it, it's probably at the Swap.

Brazen Dropouts is a cycling team for the casual cruiser, the experienced racer, and everyone in between

All people on bikes are welcomed, supported, and celebrated - no exceptions

You may know us from our Bike Swap, one of the largest swap events in the Midwest, or from groups rides around Madison, or from some of the many events we host!

Brazen Dropouts fosters the Madison racing community by hosting the New Glarus Road Race and our Cyclocross race each year, and team members compete at other road, cyclocross, and MTB races all around Wisconsin. We also have less formal race-like events, such as the Climbduro.

We have plenty of non-racing team members as well - we do the weekly Row Rides from Machinery Row, and our members participate in gran fondos, gravel rides, donut rides, and casual spins of all sorts!

If you’re not sure about membership yet, you are welcome to attend some events and rides to test it out!

Reliable variety of team rides - ranging from casual donut rides, to weekend no-drop group rides, to the occasional hammer-fest or super-long adventure.
