Hey everyone, I live here in minneapolis and have been cruising around the last couple of years
after too many years of television and driving. After a mountain biking mishap, I've found myself addicted to singlespeeding around this flat city. Just started riding fixed which is a blast as well.

You sound like you need to come out for Saturday Night Ride...

Sounds like you got the right idea - welcome to the biggest time waster you'll probably ever find ;)

I just kind of went the opposite, from brakeless track last week to MTB as of Sat... The whole coasting and shifting thing is still throwing me for a loop...

Whereabouts you usually riding?

been commuting from south minneapolis to fridley a couple days a week, taking spins all around town.
Ive been digging the midtown greenway for a quick shot to Uptown, straight down Lake for a more
adventurous ride. Grand Rounds is fun but can be annoying at times. St Paul is a fun ride. Lebanon Hills is the best for MTB but the XX course kicked my A** !!
