RE: My (brief) tale of two cities: From small town girl to big city cyclist
Minneapolis seemed huge when I was young, going beyond the 494/694 loop was always an adventure.
I grew up in south Minneapolis, and rode my bike to school everyday, crossed lake Harriet over the ice in winter.
I don't miss Minnesota winter.
Summer weather was (still is?) fantastic, it cools off at night there, unlike here in Shanghai, where it stays above 30C with 80% humidity 24/7 for most of July and August.
This was back in the 1990's, bicycle infrastructure has improved a lot since then.
Cool! I've lived in S Mpls for quite a few years after living in various parts of the city. I've biked to, by, and around Lake Harriet countless times. I've xc skiied there when it was frozen, but didn't bike across the ice.
I don't blame you for not missing winter! Summer and Fall can be delightful though. Shanghai sounds too humid for me. I'm grateful that the infrastructure keeps improving here. Thanks for saying hi!
