Hopkins to University Hospital

A serviceable commuting route to the University of Minnesota for folks living in the western suburbs. One can drive to a Park-and-Ride lot within bikable distance, and bike the rest of the way. The Hopkins Park-and-Ride is a good choice, because the route in to the "U" is then almost all on dedicated bikeways -- so it's quite mellow. It's also within a few blocks of a student-run coffee shop, so one can pause for coffee and a snack before finishing the trip home.
