I told him what I wanted, the size, etc. It took him 20 minutes to find these tubes. I told him I wanted shrader valves, he brought up prestas.

By the time we left it was almost an hour to buy two tubes and rim strips.

We were so impressed with the amount of time Alex and Kiko spent with us to ensure we made the right decision. Alex even led us on a test ride around the neighborhood.

We feel confident we received the best value and quality. We wish Alex and Kiko success and happiness.

Not far from the Gateway State Trail, this bicycle shop has been locally owned since 1992. We came…read morehere as part of a Wahoo! Adventure class educational event-we were greeted by Kyle. He toured the shop with us, answering our questions about bike maintenance. The other gentleman helped one of our group to find a new helmet-he was awesome when he said that your brain doesn't care what kind of helmet it is being protected by (only that it fit & you wear it). They did do an installation of a new stem immediately on one of the bikes that one of our group rode in on. Gateway Cycle offers a free demonstration class every Saturday morning 9:30-10:30. They will show you how to change a flat, proper lube practices & minor adjustments. Questions regarding maintaining your bike are welcome but it is a not a repair-your-bike-in-the-shop class. I liked the e-bike selection that they offered (especially when they do a maintenance check on the purchased bike annually).

I returned to Wai Nani for their Excelsior location this time (previously enjoyed Wayzata). I had a…read morereservation for 4pm, but was late due to not being able to find the rental spot. The website lists the address as 135 Lake St, Excelsior, MN, but based on Apple Maps their location is more accurately described as West Lake Street or First Street, as there is a baseball diamond at 135 Lake Street. We called the company for help as we were lost and to let them know we were running late as a result, and they were unsympathetic but eventually got us to the right spot (albeit late for an only one hour reservation). The two students working said we still ONLY had the time remaining for our hour reservation (i.e. until 5pm) so we had lost the time we couldn't find the location and made no accommodation for us, although they also noted there were no reservations after ours. I completely understand needing to avoid a scheduling conflict, but I certainly wished for a little more understanding after not finding the location since they clarified we wouldn't create an issue by simply pushing our reservation back 20 minutes (if that would have been allowed).

Five-Star Twin Cities Adventure: Three Rivers Park District is a Cyclist's Paradise! As a…read morerelatively new cyclist I couldn't be more excited to share my total enthusiasm for the Three Rivers Park District. I'm so glad I found a place to gush about the amazing trails they maintain. I started cycling just this past March and as a newbie safety and accessibility were my top priorities. It quickly became clear the trails managed by Three Rivers Park District are in a league of their own. The Luce Line Regional & State Trail has been a total game-changer. Since it's so close to my house I can ride my bike to many places without having to navigate busy roads. The ease of access combined with the well-maintained and clearly marked trails has even put my parents' minds at ease - a big bonus when I head out for a long ride. It's made cycling stress-free and fun for me and gives my family peace of mind. When I need to get into downtown Minneapolis quickly and safely the North Cedar Lake Regional Trail is my go-to. It's a direct and secure route so I can focus on the ride not traffic. And when I want to get into the "wild" the Lake Minnetonka Regional Trail delivers. It's great to have all these options under one umbrella, urban commuting to scenic escapes. Three Rivers Park District truly lives up to their "Twin Cities Adventure" promise. They're dedicated to maintaining such high quality, safe and diverse trails and it shows in every pedal stroke. Whether you're a new cyclist like me, a seasoned pro or just looking for a beautiful place to walk or run Three Rivers Park District is the best. Five stars!

This is another fabulous trail in the western suburbs of Minneapolis/St. Paul. Unlike the Dakota Rail Trail which is asphalt, this is not paved which makes it ideal for runners and walkers looking for a lower impact surface. It is rarely busy and is beautiful. There is a parallel horse trail and while you don't see equines often, I have on occasion over the last 10+ years of active trail use seen riders. You will cross a number of streets so you need to be careful but there isn't much traffic on most of the cross streets. There are a number of parking spots for the trail's entry. Enjoy! In winter it can be a bit difficult to traverse as the footprints freeze making a bumpy terrain. However a good pair of winter hiking boots or depending upon the conditions, snow shoes, makes for a lovely winter trek. Enjoy!
