Minneapolis has the advantage of some relatively major rivers, which provide convenient areas to run bike paths along. It works decently well.

I want to call out their conversion of old railways to "greenways" though. Rail lines are straight, off the main roads, have their own bridges, and usually run into the old warehouse areas that are actually the new build-up areas with all the cool bars, student housing, etc. Really smart use of existing infra.

Rails to trails is being done in multiple areas and is a great way to reuse right-of-ways (sometimes the railroad still owns them and has the right to redevelop them in the future!) that already exist, and you can even add trails next to active lines sometimes (especially since many "active" lines are one train a day or less).

> and biked almost 100% (except winter)

So like 50%?

You know, late Nov to Apr, is 50% of the year, so yeah. I usually biked starting in March.

So if there's bike infrastructure for March to November, there also has to be other infrastructure for November to March?
