Hi! New subscriber, from Seattle, here. I've never been anywhere in Minnesota, but I recently read a novel set in Minneapolis, featuring real-life locations. I thought I'd see what these places look like, and I found your channel. I like your style.
@@walkingminnesota It's called "Widower, 48, Seeks Husband", by Raymond Luczak. It takes place between the 1980s and early 2000s, in the neighborhood south and west of Loring Park, near Sebastian Joe's Ice Cream and the Wedge Food Coop.
Great video. Very cool to see "dedicated" bike lanes in neighborhoods with a small median barrier (not just painted lines). A number of the alternative transportation groups here in Omaha have been advocating for a similar setup, but we're not there yet. I've been enjoying your channel. Minneapolis/St. Paul is one of our favorite destinations (we were just in St. Paul in March for the NCHC Frozen Faceoff). 👍
Thanks! There are definitely some people doing some really great work here in the twin cities (and some of the suburbs) involving making our streets safer for cyclists and pedestrians. Thanks for saying hi! I just subbed to your channel and I’m looking forward to seeing more of Nebraska.
Thank you so much for a cycling video! Although your walking-around videos are invaluable when it comes to getting a sense for downtown, northloop, and other nearby neighborhoods, this biking video alone showcases so much new bike infrastructure that isnt even on Google Maps yet. Bryant's cycling track looks simply world-class, and is miles ahead of most similarly-sized cities in America. Furthermore, its nice to just see a video documenting the quieter parts of the city and quotidienne life. I can definitely imagine myself living car-free or car-lite in Minneapolis. Thank you!
My pleasure! I’m so excited for all the hype that Bryant has been getting. That street is fantastic. The other streets (w 40th and blaisdell) both are great in my book too. Protected lanes, a place for cars, a place for walkers, and fantastic tree coverage! It’s so easy to drop a few car trips and exchange them for a bike (or bus) ride here and there in MPLS
Thanks for the idea! I use my phone and a gimbal that works pretty well when handheld. I bought a mount that I use for the gimbal on my bike but it struggles with bumps (hence why i am riding so slow) I’m not sure if I am going to do enough bike stuff to justify buying a GoPro yet but I’ve seen pretty good results with those and cheap mounts
I love the bike content! Fantastic!
Thank you! I plan to do more of it in the future

That’s awesome! What novel? I’d love to check it out if I haven’t yet

I’m not a biker but I love that my hometown is investing in bicycling infrastructure! And not just in affluent neighborhoods. 👏👏👏
Love to hear that. I prefer having cyclists out of regular lanes when I’m driving. Good infrastructure is good for all types of mobility
I miss the biking infrastructure of my hometown! Certainly don't have it as good out in the DC area. Thanks for sharing!
We are so lucky here, thanks to the hard work of many wonderful people. Thanks for watching!
wow, very beautiful
Thanks!

Than you!
Assuming you're using a GoPro type of camera, there's some pretty cheap chest mounts online that would work well for these types of videos

This was supposed to be Walking Minnesota, not Biking Minnesota.
Yeah. I will understand if you feel the need to submit a false advertising claim to Keith Ellison’s office
NotJustWalk
Bike, walk, ride, whatever works I guess
