Bike Ride Videos

Finally got around to posting the infamous first Twin Cities bike ride that I did on April 2.  The one that didn't end well.

Now that my spine is better and my bike is getting fixed I hope to be out doing some more riding soon.

Sorry, what happened?

Sorry, what happened?

I had a cycling accident in early April.  There were some conflicting stories.  Someone said I got hit while others were claiming I had an episode.  I cut off the video right before the accident but it just showed me on the ground.  I was running in time lapse mode so it wasn't a true video so it's possible someone whacked me and took off.  Given how hard people are saying otherwise I'm thinking it was more someone hit me and took off but I guess we'll never know for sure.

I'm glad the incident wasn't worse, and hope you never have another.

That's a good trail.  Reminds me of one near my house, a converted railroad track through woods and little towns, alongside the course of a scenic river.

I wanted to try out riding the bike to and from work so I decided to go in to the office today.

Fairly nice ride.  Not too hilly.  Wound up being about 14 miles total.  Not used to riding like that as much so I'm a bit sore but I hope as I do some more riding that'll go away.  Had bike lanes pretty much the whole way there and back which is nice because then there's the separation.  There's racks in the basement for those of us who work in the building.

I took a cooler along with me so I could stop at the grocery store.  It was OK but I think I need to either find a trailer or get a bag that can be mounted on the rear rack.  It was a bit on the heavy side after the grocery store.  Plus it started raining too on the way home.

This afternoon's post work ride.

Went for a trip down to the neighborhood shopping center then up and around Lake Nokomis.  Found a good lakeside place to sit and knock back a couple while watching traffic go by on the lake.

And today's post work bike ride.  Just over 19 miles total.

There was a brewery out in Edina I was hoping was gonna be open by 11 but they weren't by the time I got there so I headed back home.  Wound up being almost 16 miles total.

Found a good route down to Eagan so I did that after work today.
