Photographic History of Dave's Bike Rides

Missed the BWCA

Update 2024

In 2023, for medical reasons, I was unable to make even a single bike ride. Purgatory.

This spring (2024) I have been released.  So in humble appreciation I give you an updated Photographic History of Dave's Bike Rides.

This album will show you the myriad of places reachable by bicycle in the Twin Cities and surrounding area.  Hope you enjoy the tour.

I enjoy exploring on my bike. Some prefer motorcycle rides, but I prefer the slower pace. I almost always discover something new on every ride, even routes I have done many times.

Over the years I have done hundreds of rides, often alone but more fun with friends or even relatives. Usually I just ride for the joy of it, but occasionally, usually with a friend, we do a "theme" ride. Scenic overlooks, parks, museums, neighborhoods, lakes (there are a bunch), cemeteries, churches, re-purposed fire stations, bronze statues, historical preservation sites, river rides, colleges, bridges, interesting architecture, DQ's, polling places, street art - and I do the wonderful Schaar's Bluff trail 3 or 4 times a year.  

I always try to take at least one photo on every ride.  I have thousands.

So, I have been reviewing my bike ride photos and created an online album, a representative sampling of the totum, mainly for my own benefit, trying to remember the locations while I am still capable. 

If you're interested in a virtual tour of Mpls-St. Paul and surroundings you can find the album here:
