Re: Cycling

(Anonymous) 2014-08-03 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
Speaking as a Minneapolitan, the split of recreational cyclists/commuter cyclists is pretty evenly split. There are people who bike 20+ miles into Minneapolis for work even though they live in 2nd or even third ring suburbs. There are even places in the skyway that have opened up for bike repair and cyclists to shower before work.

As far as helmets go, it's not required for adults but strongly recommended. Even so, there are actually active campaigns in the city to promote helmet free riding, and considering that the safety value of helmets is debatable, this group might actually be able to make some headway with their message. I admit I really don't have a stake in it. I personally think there needs to be more time/energy devoted to teaching cyclists in the Twin Cities how to FUCKING OBEY TRAFFIC SIGNALS! Sorry. Most people in the area get really pissed off about that, and I admit I almost want to see a cyclist completely ignore a red light and pay for it.

(And yes, Minnesotans swear. Okay, I'm an import from the nation's wang, but still. Winter is becoming my favorite season even with sliding on a patch of ice and spraining my finger this past December.)
