It is time to start planning your visit to this year’s Minnesota State Fair and using your bicycle is a comfortable way to get there. If you plan on attending this year’s ‘Great Minnesota Get-together, bicycle parking is still free. Ride your bike from home or do a multi-modal commute to the fair. Consider loading your bike in your car or using the Metro Transit Bus to the fair. Once in the area, consider a spot, maybe a few miles away, for easy parking. Then, commute the rest of the way to one of the fair’s three bike corrals. Commuting by bicycle can take the hassle factor out of your annual visit. Plus, it is a great way to burn off some of those calories from all the fun things you can eat on a stick.
BIKING TO THE FAIR, CHOOSE FROM THREE SECURE BIKE CORRALS
This year, the fair starts on August 22nd and runs through Labor Day, September 2nd. So there is plenty of time to go; plan your mode of transportation to get there and see what you will see.
Three bike corrals at the Minnesota State Fair
Riding your bike to the Fair, cyclists can choose between three secure bike corrals to park their bicycles while visiting. As in the past, riding your bike to the fair can be fun and reduce the hassle of traffic congestion getting there. Each day, those who commute by bicycle to the fairgrounds will find three (3) secure bike locations from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. They are located at:
North Bike Lot: Hoyt-Snelling Gate (#2)
West Bike Lot: Randall Ave-Buford Gate (#16)
South Bike Lot: Como-Snelling Gate (#6) is a popular location. (This bike corral fills fast, so be prepared to plan your route to one of the above locations.)
CHECK THE LATEST IN ECO-FRIENDLY E-BIKES IN THE ECO PROGRESS CENTER.
Here is a map from the MN Pollution Control Agency showing the best bicycle routes to ride your bike comfortably to the fair.
