The Washington Post had an article about cities with the most bike commuters, and our beautiful city of Duluth was mentioned in it.

The tips come after a serial bike thief was caught in the area.

This is something to note.

The Northland event will take place Saturday and Sunday with a portion of the proceeds benefiting local organizations.

It's National Bike to Work Day this Friday and the DTA is getting involved.  Now I understand the premise is to actually "bike to work", but with the hills in Duluth no one is going to jump on ya if you take the DTA back home, that hill after a long days work could be brutal.

The Gary New Duluth Bike Rodeo and Child Safety Day takes place this Wednesday at the Gary New Duluth community center.  It goes from 2-5pm, and it's a chance for kids to have their bikes checked over.  They'll also teach safety tips to kids, and even try out an obstacle course.

When I got my first job at the Wrenshall School pool I rode my bike to work on a SUPER hilly, loose graveled Alcohol Road (yes, that is the actual name of the road).  Not because I was "green" or I enjoyed the exercise.  It was because my mom worked and if I wanted the job it was bike or walk.  Where was National Bike to Work Day then?

A local Carlton man, Timothy Soden-Groves, is not only compassionate and giving, he is also insightful.  The weather will soon be colder and the holidays will be upon us.  Many turn to the Second Harvest Northern Lakes Food Bank to keep meals on the table for their families.  Timothy is on a mission to stock the shelves and feed those in need.

Wanna go back to your childhood?  That over-the-top, awesome feeling you got when you first learned how to ride a bike?  You can relive it with this little guy....or, if you have kids...use this inspirational video to give them that extra confidence they need, so YOU can let go and stop running along side of them (although it IS good exercise)...
