Bicycling Magazine recently rated Minneapolis the best biking city in the country. The nod makes sense given the city's fantastic paths, soon-to-launch bike-sharing program, and the upcoming
Bike Walk Week, which promises loads of bike-boosting events, breakfasts, and more, starting June 5.
If you haven't already, now is the time to set up a Bike Walk Week team. Registrants are eligible to receive fantastic prizes via the
Commuter Challenge from Metro Transit.
And if you're a first-time rider, the
Bike Walk Week website offers up plenty of tips, including videos that showcase how and where to ride; how to pick out a bike; and how to find the right gear. In addition, for folks uncertain about what routes to take on their commute, Bike Walk Week is offering
commuter convoys, biking volunteers who will show you the ropes and routes of bike commuting.
