MINNEAPOLIS, MN — The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board has decided to translate the traditional one-day Minneapolis Bike Tour with a series of smaller, bike-focused events throughout the summer.

Lake Nokomis Parkway – east side

Parkway closed between 22nd Ave./Minnehaha Pkwy. on the north and Derby Ave. on the south
