I was in Minneapolis this weekend for my niece's wedding. Didn't do any riding, but my brother and SIL took me all over the place. I saw tons of cyclists, mostly road bikes, on great bike paths along lakes and separated from street traffic. Since I don't know the area, I really don't know exactly where we were, but wherever we went, it looked great for riding. Of course I realize for you cyclists who live there, your riding season is limited, but I sure do envy you when the weather is good. BTW, I also got Chigger bites at the outdoor wedding!! It was all worth it though.
