Watch the Minneapolis Bike Lanes: Know the Road video

Bike season begins in Minneapolis

Minneapolis is one of the best cities for biking in the country, and with the addition of 37 miles of bikeways in 2011, there are now 167 miles of bikeways in Minneapolis.

The addition of the many on-street bikeways means you’ll see many new bike markings on the roadway. The City has produced two new videos to help road users understand these markings so both bikes and cars can safely use the same streets. Learn more about biking in Minneapolis.
