The Midtown Greenway is an open, sub-grade bike highway that runs parallel to busy Lake Street, one of South Minneapolis’s most important thoroughfares, and connects the north shore of Lake Calhoun with West River Parkway. The Greenway is a great way to access Lake Street’s eclectic shops and venues without braving traffic on surface streets or sidewalks. The condos, apartment buildings, and historic warehouses towering above the route make for a great ride. If your bike needs fixing or you’re in the mood for a coffee break, check out Freewheel Bike’s Midtown Bike Center near the Chicago Avenue exit.
