We've talked about the possibility of a bike station at Southdale - here's a link to a group doing this work in California:

In Edina, where only one street out of 260 miles of roadways has a designated bike lane, Denise Watson knows which routes are more bicycle-friendly.

Bike lanes and links to trails are some of the measures that leaders in Edina and other cities are considering to help cyclists.

Anne Lusk of Harvard's School of Public Health has a startling -- many
would say quixotic -- ambition for America's cities. She'd like to
equip them all with cycle tracks.

Cycle tracks? Does she mean the painted buffer lane for bikes you see on some streets? No!
Those lanes are easily blocked by vehicles attempting to park. And they
leave cyclists within inches of fast cars and monster trucks; if
there's any error, you know who get hurts, often badly.

Lance Armstrong is currently on NPR 91.1 speaking at the Aspen Ideas Forum. He has some interesting comments in regard to what biking means to him and to children.  His speech will probably be rebroadcast at 9PM, Friday July 13, 2007, and will be available online at www.mpr.org

Live in Minneapolis! "Biking & Hiking Options Expand" Bike projects in the Twin Cities. Reported by Rob Olson.

Video reports like this can offer good visuals to decision makers considering how the Edina mobility infrastructure can coordinate with Minneapolis improvements underway and other communities also.

Hello, I'd like to recommend that the creation of a Bike Path (MS Ch 169.01, subd 69) alongside the existing CP Rail Line be included in the infrastructure proposal. This is the line that shows up on some maps as Soo Line, and I understand is doing business as Candian Pacific Railway. This mostly north/south rail line connects to Edina from the north just east of Brookside Avenue.

Hello, I'd like to recommend the following roads as being considered for Bike Lanes (MS Ch 169.01, subd 70). I strongly believe that this would contribute positively to the community for improving quality of life, reducing car traffic and traffic noise, promoting active living, and other reasons that benefit property owners, both residential and commercial.
