Today found me riding the Midtown Greenway. On the return trip home I sidetracked up onto 10th Avenue and took some photos and shot a little video. Below is one of those photos. The video is still being edited. Enjoy.
Midtown Greenway: The Commute Home
After a few weeks of debating the virtues of bike sharing/rentals I purchased yearly subscriptions from Nice Ride MN for me and the family. The keys arrived yesterday and this morning we went and took a ride along the Midtown Greenway. The overall experience was wonderful. You insert your key into any available bike, adjust the seat and then pedal away. I wasn’t too sure how these green monsters would handle but it turns out that was not an issue. We thoroughly enjoyed the ride and look forward to many more before November, when they remove the bikes for the season.
I’ll tell you what, if you live in the Twin Cities then I recommend you check out Nice Ride MN. If you live in another city that offers this service, ditto. And if you live in a city that is considering a program like Nice Ride then you need to support it. You won’t be disappointed. Nice Ride? Indeed.
Good-gosh almighty. It has been entirely too long since my last ride so weather permitting, I plan on hitting the streets tomorrow. Forecast calls for thunderstorms so I am taking a wait and see approach. Regardless, I am taking the first window of opportunity I see.
So the Nice Ride racks are starting to reappear in the Twin Cities so it must mean that Spring has sprung.
