None of 'em. Too busy dodging dog leases, strollers, and wandering fools.

Shoot south to the cannon river trail on a weekday. Otherwise, embrace roads where bikes belong.

Check with a local bike shop for a bike map. It's $12 well spent.

If you want to do trails Luce Line is nice too goes from Golden Valley all the way out to Watertown (after you cross Vicksburg in Plymouth it goes from asphalt to crushed limestone.)

The Minnesota Bike Atlas is really good too.
