Minneapolis: City of Bikes

Hello, dear readers!

As many of you know, one of my favorite things about the warmer seasons is being able to ride my bicycle. And since Minneapolis is bike city, there are plenty of opportunities for me to ride. Every summer, the city sponsors several events which close main streets so that cyclists and pedestrians can walk on the streets without the threat of traffic. Local cafes and shops sell refreshments and their goods on the sidewalk.

A few weeks ago, I took my Peugeot bicycle (which I brought here from Germany) and joined my friends for some cruising up and down Lyndale Avenue.

                                               Lots of action at the CC Club
