Quick ride by bicycle from Falcon Heights to Minneapolis

Start your cycling adventure in the charming Falcon Heights, best known for hosting the annual Minnesota State Fair, one of the largest and most beloved fairs in the country. As you set off, glide down a mix of 80% asphalt roads with a sprinkle of concrete and paved paths to keep things interesting.

This delightful 11.4-kilometer route takes you mostly along dedicated cycleways (a whooping 65%), with stretches of quiet roads providing a peaceful ride. You’ll experience just enough elevation changes to feel the burn without turning it into a Tour de France challenge, ascending 37 meters and descending 69 meters – perfect for a leisurely afternoon ride.

As you approach Minneapolis, get ready to dive into the vibrant heart of Minnesota’s largest city, known for its lively arts scene, stunning parks, and an extensive network of cycling-friendly paths. The route will end amidst the hustle and bustle, offering plenty of opportunities to explore beyond the bike. Whether you’re in the mood for some cultural exploration or a lovely session at a local coffee shop, Minneapolis won’t disappoint you!
