Bikes and Buses are the Best
Electric bike rental station, BCycle, is a block down the street in the park from April-Nov. Download the app and buy a day pass. Buses are frequent and leave from across the street. I believe the fare is $2. Parking around the Isthmus in Madison can be tough, and enforcers are merciless.
