Public Transportation and Smart Growth

Though most of it isn't "elevated",
Minneapolis/St Paul has several HUNDRED miles of converted railway lines that are bicycle only.
It is possible to transit Minneapolis and beyond without sharing the road with any motorized vehicle.

Most areas of Minneapolis downtown are immediately accessible from well maintained, dedicated Commuter Bikeways.
Some even have emergency call boxes.
Minneapolis has really stepped up and done this right.








Many of the Commuter Bikeways are cleared and maintained throughout the Winter months,
allowing for some invigorating Minnesota Winter Biking.

I recommend studs, but many Winter Riders don't bother.

If you have the opportunity to visit the Twin Cities,
don't forget to bring your bike!
