I've fixed up a bike for my wife, see http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=577253. We've talked about biking into Minneapolis together, but my wife has never done it. She normally bikes a mile or so to the bus stop, where she has a bike locker, and takes the bus downtown. We take turns driving my daughter to daycare. Today was my turn. After I dropped my daughter off, my wife called and asked if I wanted to bike in with her, so I went home and got my bike.

It was beautiful morning for a ride--cool, sunny, light wind. We rode on Marshall over the Mississippi, along the Parkway, on the Greenway, and along the LRT line. It was a fun commute. She really liked it--says she wants to do it more--so now we have to figure out how to get our daughter to daycare on our bikes.
