Quick ride by bicycle from Lauderdale to Minneapolis

South St. Anthony Park to Mpls. Warehouse Dist. Two-way bicycle lanes beyond Dinkytown are unusual, but useful. Bicycle/Ped bridge over 35W is a safe, simple crossing. Bicycle paths on W River Road = 10 mph; W River Road = 25 mph. Bicycle/Ped path allows  crossing from 1st St. to 2nd St.

Park Ave has a dedicated bike lane all the way to S 9th St, which also has a dedicated bike lane to LaSalle Ave. Approx. 6 miles each way.

Take East River Road northwest until you reach Franklin.  (You can either bike on the road or you can use the bike/pedestrian path on the west side of the street.) Take a left onto Franklin to take the bridge over the river.  (You can either bike in the street or you can walk your bike on the sidewalk.) 3.  Once you've crossed the bridge, take a right onto West River Parkway.  (You can either bike in the street or you can use the bike/pedestrian path on the east side of the street.) Take West River Parkway until you reach 11th Avenue. Take the bikelane on 11th Avenue to 5th Street. 5.  Take a right onto 5th Street and continue for a few blocks. 6.  Take a left onto Portland in the bikelane, continue for a few blocks to 9th Street. Take a right onto 9th Street in the bike lane, and arrive at destination.

Take Malcolm north to the U of MN Transitway. Take a left onto the U of MN Transitway.  Note: you can bike in the road - the only thing you will see are buses.  Or you can take the bike/ped trail but you should watch your speed as there are walkers. Continue on the U of MN Transitway until you reach Oak.  Continue past Oak, and the Transitway will spit you out onto 5th St. 5th St. will have a bike lane. Take 5th St all the way to 10th Ave, cross 10th Ave and you will see a spiral bike/ped bridge over 35 W. Take the bridge over 35 W and continue on 5th St until you reach 6th Ave. Take a left onto 6th Ave and follow that down the hill to the Stone Arch Bridge. Take the Stone Arch Bridge (bike/ped) over the river. Once on the other side of the river, take a left onto Portland. Take Portland to 2nd St. Take a right onto 2nd St. which has a lovely bike lane. Continue on 2nd St. to Marquette. At this point, you can take a right, then a left and then a left to get to the other side of the block.  What I have mapped simply involves carrying your bike up 3 steps to cut through the block so you can continue on 2nd St. The last few blocks to the destination are a little hairy no matter what route you take (it's not a very bikable area) but I recommend crossing Hennepin here, going on 2nd St to 1st Ave N. Take a left on 1st Ave N and continue to your destination.
