Feb 02, 2003 - Minneapolis, MN
Winter in Minneapolis is long, dark and cold. Riding a bicycle in these elements poses its challenges, but the experience can also be rewarding. I've enjoyed some of my most memorable cycling experiences in the most harsh weather conditions. The tranquility of riding a bicycle during a snowstorm is impossible to explain to those who haven't experienced it. The cold weather lately seemed like an appropriate time to dust off a few images I made during one of those memorable winter rides back in 2003.
