The North Star State



Destination: Minnesota

The name North Star State originated from the French motto which appears on the state flag and seal:  l’étoile du nord, which means the star of the North. If you've ever been to beautiful Minnesota, you know it's truly a shining star of the Northern U.S. states. In addition to The North Star State, Minnesota has been nicknamed Land of 10,000 Lakes due to the state's plethora of lakes. Imagine riding your bicycle this coming June through Minneapolis, to one of the many lakes located within city limits.

Bike-friendly Minneapolis

Minneapolis' growing number of bike lanes and a well-loved bike share program routinely lands the city as a top bike-friendly city on lists created by publications and online bike communities. Before you saddle up on two wheels, you'll want to read up on biking etiquette. Minneapolis may be friendly to bikers but it's still a city of 400,000 people (double that if you add in St. Paul). A few rules to get you started: wear a helmet for safety, don't bike on the sidewalk, and don't pass on the right.
