- If you slow down when riding on the Greenway, you can appreciate architecture and learn more about what businesses are located there.
- If you're going at a slow pace around the lakes, people who go fast are as annoying as those who go slow when you're trying to go fast.
- A squirrel that is trying to avoid getting run over by you as you're trying to not have it wrapped in your wheels (do a Google images search for "squirrel bike wheel" - gross!) can go as fast as 10 mph for quite a while.
- Freewheel Bike Shop on the Greenway is fantastic when you get a couple of miles into a ride and realize something is very wrong. They're fantastic even under normal conditions.
- NE Minneapolis has become more welcoming to bicyclists, even adding a cool biking traffic signal.
- It is a good idea to avoid riding right up to the Mall of America on the road that turns into highway entrance ramps.
- The Minneapolis Vets' Home has amazing old architecture.
- Sometimes when going fast over gravel there can be a big bump and you just have to take it on faith (and maybe close your eyes a little bit) that it will work out.
For a while today, I was on the list of the highest fundraisers for the MS150. I got bumped off the list, but I'm okay with that, since we're all working toward the same end goal.
