Minneapolis and Saint Paul are the coldest major cities in the United States. But they’re also top biking cities. Biking + crazy-cold-winter = lots of icicle beards. In this episode of “Are You MN Enough?” Erik J. Nelson introduces us to the culture of “yearounders,” bike enthusiasts who just keep on pedaling– come snow, hail, and sub-zero temps.

“Are You MN Enough?” is an original web series produced by Rewire, a project of Twin Cities Public Television (tpt). In each episode, a new local video producer creatively explores an aspect of being Minnesotan.

Why do or don’t you bike through the winter months? Tell the world in the comments!
