Biking in Twin Cities

[South Minny]

That Cyclopath wiki is cool. Can you see routes other people have made -- for example, if someone does a recreational ride they think others would find interesting, can another user access that mapped route?

Also posted up about Cyclopath at the Twin Cities Biking News website:

The enthusiasm on this thread is cool.

If my hubby does decide to bike I think he plans to take the Parkway/byway as far as it'll take him (which is very far actually) and then I'm not sure how his route will be. His profession is pretty stressful so I think he's sorta regretting the idea of biking 8 miles (16 total). His other main concern is how long it'll take him to get there...I just did a Google Maps function for walking and it says 2hrs an 48min. I doubt that'll happen if it takes that long...lol...the 17 minute drive (using highways instead) just might make more sense. (Though he'd like to not have to drive and saving on gas would be neat, too...though his car gets excellent mileage anyhow).

I dunno...but it is nice to have the option, isn't it.

MN Native, I just looked on Metro Transit what it would be like to get to Roseville from the Northside with the Lowry Bridge (and most all of Lowry) out of commission right now (and for a while to come). It used to be a pretty easy/ quick bus ride from the Northside to Roseville down Lowry Ave - now it looks like the shortest bus commute is around 45 minutes. Hopefully this service gets restored in the future.
