Minneapolis Bike Tour
The Minneapolis Bike Tour is not only a fantastic way to see the city of Minneapolis on two wheels, it also is doing much to go green.  One fantastic example: the tour organizers are trying to reduce paper and plastic use by not having plastic “goody” bags on the day of the event and instead have all the information you need electronically on the website. On that note, check out the entire list of green initiatives and learn more about the tour here.
