Almost daily I see more and more old guys like me out doing the same thing I'm doing on a bike...running errands and just using a bike for getting around. This is something I hardly saw 10 to 15 years ago, there were very few of us riding for transportation let alone year around. Each time i ride through Minneapolis it feels more and more like Eugene OR felt in the late '70s...people riding and bikes parked every where.
I think Jim is right about the trails in Mpls it is nice to have streets already scouted for route suitability, something we are lacking just across the river in St. Paul. As to the weather I see signs in the industry that will probably lead to more gear & clothing designed to make it easier for more people to venture out in winter here regardless of snow. That's one of the factors that helped increase winter bike use in Portland. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
