Before thunderstorms were expected to roll into town later in the afternoon, Madison's moms got some pretty nice weather for Mother's Day.

 

Good enough for a bike ride, right? Madison is home to a number of cycling-related companies, a few of which sent out creative greetings on Twitter on Sunday:
