Announcing the Official Twin Cities Bike Tour Afterparty

Streets.mn is ecstatic to announce a special event: the official Twin Cities Bike Tour Afterparty!

We’ll be serving as co-hosts with the Bicycle Alliance of Minnesota (BikeMN) for a celebration of bikes, community and the fabulous cycling infrastructure of our region.

Wait, What Is the TCBT?

The second annual Twin Cities Bike Tour isn’t a race. It’s a ride to highlight what makes the Twin Cities metropolitan area one of the most bicycle-friendly places in the country. It also happens to be the largest fundraising ride for BikeMN, which has 13 chapters across the state and conducts bike training for adults and schoolchildren throughout the year.

If you rode the inaugural ride last year, you may notice a key difference this time around: We’re headed west! The Cedar Lake Trail (the western extension of the Midtown Greenway going toward Hopkins) is now complete and provides a smooth, easy 7 miles of completely uninterrupted trail.
