Picked up my unnaturally clean bike, resplendent with new parts, from Freewheel Bike. Took it for a spin.

Freewheel
Wheeled my bicycle over to Freewheel for a service. So many worn parts are being replaced, it’ll practically be a new bike.
Perfect Perch
It was a perfect day to get outside, meet a friend, ride our bikes, and stand at our favorite perch to watch trains going by.
Light Rail Construction
Our cycle route included several diversions to avoid construction of a light rail system. This elaborate bridge and viaduct will take the cycle trail over an existing freight track, light rail tracks, and a busy road.
Minneapolis Viewpoint
Found this Minneapolis viewpoint on my cycle ride.
Zig and Zag
Cycled to St. Paul’s Lake Como with a friend. On the way back, zigged and zagged up a ramp to get to this pedestrian bridge. Once, it must have traversed more than the two rail tracks below.
Luce Line to Medicine Lake
Cycled west out of of Minneapolis on a section of the Luce Line, then around Medicine Lake, my longest ride this year.
Cycling through Fall Colors
Cycled through fall colors.
Bridges of Hennepin County
Crossed thirteen Mississippi bridges on a “The Bridges of Hennepin County” cycle ride with a friend. On this bridge, we pushed our bicycles while avoiding eye contact with the locomotive operator
Wet Stripe Down Back
Lightning crashed overhead while I had a haircut. When the storm let up, I cycled home with a wet stripe down my back.
