Do you REALLY need a fat bike to ride in Duluth snow? I guess it depends on how much snow!

I see almost as many bicyclists not obeying traffic laws as I do people not using blinkers.

If you've ever wanted to try out an electric bicycle, a new e-bike rental shop called Canal E-Rides will be opening in Canal Park in Duluth later this month.

I noticed this last week when I was driving through Catlin Avenue in the UWS Campus. A row of bikes was set up with 'City of Superior' written across the front basket. At first I assumed it was something for the college kids, but was surprised to learn today that there are 5 different locations around town that have these bikes...

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.

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?

Bikes are being accepted today, Friday, April 22 until 7p or tomorrow, Saturday, April 23 from 8a-9:45a for the 10th Annual Continental Ski & Bike "Bike Swap".  This yearly event benefits the Head of the Lakes United Way.  Plus, the first 100 kids at the event receive a free bike helmet thanks to St. Luke's Hospital and Joe Golcz at State Farm Insurance!

If you are in the market for a new-to-you bike, you may want to check out and bid on your fave with the Superior Police Department.  All the bikes have either been stolen or abandoned.

You don't have to be a bicyclist to be interested or give input in the on-road bike lanes being proposed for city-wide implementation.  If you're an interested community member you also have the opportunity attend a meeting to review the information gathered this summer and hear the plan of the proposed bike lanes.

Congratulations to the City of Duluth for being recognized as community that has embraced the environmental, financial and quality of life benefits that come with bicycle riding.  A growing number of cities across the country are using this mode of transportation as a solution to many challenges. Thanks to a submission by Healthy Duluth, The League of American Bicyclists announced that Duluth has
