BEST BIKE TRAILThe Midtown Greenway
29th Street Corridor, from Chowen Avenue South to Fifth Avenue South; 27th Street Corridor, from Hiawatha to West River Parkway Minneapolis
Now that its been extended to the West River Parkway, the Greenway has finally reached its full potential. It offers a wide, hugely useful path through the center of Minneapolis that's used by commuters dressed for law firms, chatty Rollerbladers, punks on novelty bikes, joggers, strollers, and joggers with strollers. The Greenway itself only covers about six miles, but if you need more exercise, there are several longer routes. From the Greenway's eastern terminus, you can take the West River Parkway south to the Ford Bridge, cross, complete the loop via the East River Parkway, and get a swift ride with spirit-lifting views of the Mississippi.
