A tall brick and stone gate structure with a bit of ornate carved stonework. There is both a road and a bike path passing through two different openings and the bike path leads off into a nice wooded area. A bike is leaned against one of the gate columns.

A quick li'l ride to the park for day 13 of #30DaysOfBiking before the sky breaks open and unleashes its mighty fury (allegedly).

My bike, very brightly lit, propped against a picnic table. In the background, in increasing darkness of night the farther away you get, there are several sailboats at a dock on a lake. Across the lake there are many buildings along the shore of varying heights, lit with many shades of warm white and red lights.

My bike, at night, propped against a bench in a lightly wooded area with a creek behind the bench. There are houses across the creek up a hill.

A lake with a path and a few trees on the shore and the blown-out glow of lights at night across it. My bike is partially in frame in the lower right leaning against a tree.

Another late night for day 12 of #30DaysOfBiking.

Hello, Minneapolis.

My bike, brightly lit with harsh shadows cast behind it, propped against a tree by the side of a wet road at night.

A large, copper, green-tarnished statue of a tortoise raising its head up toward the sky at night, illuminated by a bike light on my handlebars just in frame. Behind the statue is a dark, empty playing field.

Ended up doing a minor repair en route tonight. Good thing I always have my multi-tool with me. And then I ran into an old friend (pictured).

I missed what seemed like a lot of activities earlier in the day, and hopefully I can get out to more events, but it was still a good #30DaysOfBiking night.

For day 10 of #30DaysOfBiking, I decided to do this challenge by finding some of the hills I've had to deal with regularly at various points in my life. Sometimes they're a slog, but tonight they were fine and didn't detract from another beautiful night of exploration.

A road at night lined with tall, leafless trees. It has a satin glow from recent rain reflecting streetlights off into the distance framed under a low metal bridge on concrete piers. My bike is on the edge of the curb, relatively small in the frame and obscured in the dim light.

On a frustrating and tiring day/week, sometimes you just need to ride a simple loop that you've done dozens of times. A nice, quiet, calm night. Serene.

The best day of #30DaysOfBiking so far for me despite almost not going out at all.

My bike sideways inside a rack that you put one of your wheels into with nowhere to lock up to. The rack, in front of a long, barren brick wall with a Cub Pharmacy sign high up above, also has two tubular metal arches on either end supporting the wheel slots that could be used as real, actually useful places to lock your bike but don't appear to be intended for such.

My bike leaning against one of two bike racks. The racks are the "conjoined sideways S" kind made of thick metal tubes with 6 vertical sections per rack. It is in a fairly empty corner of a building but there is room around it to actually get multiple bikes in perpendicular to the rack.

My bike against another bike rack of the "conjoined sideways S" variety. This one is made of thinner tubing which would be easier to get a U-lock around. It also has clearance to attach bikes perpendicular in order to fit more in, though there is only 4 vertical sections and it is partially blocking the pedestrian sidewalk.

Apparently I've decided I'm investigating racks at all the nearby grocery stores for #30DaysOfBiking now. The Cub in Har Mar (1st image) has nearly the worst kind save for the end loops, and the Cub and Aldi (2nd and 3rd) at Roseville Center are a bit better than the Kowalski's from the other day.

A tall waterfall will some towers of dirty ice around the edges of it. My purple bike is in the foreground, half out of frame, up against a large stone wall overlooking the falls.

I saw someone else post from the falls for #30DaysOfBiking so I figured I'd go check it out for myself as well.

Somehow, despite supposedly being warmer and less windy out, it was seemingly neither of those. I guess that explains the ice that remains.

My bike propped against a bike rack made of large tubes bent into conjoined sideways "S"s. The rack is parallel to and only about 1.5 feet from the wall of a building. It's dark outside and my headlight is the only light illuminating the rack. The parking lot next to the building is fully illuminated, as is the inside of the building visible through the windows above the rack.

Why do grocery stores always have the worst bike racks and hide them out of sight of the main entrance. I wish more were open late at night also, but that's just me being weird.

Some good investigation for potential #30DaysOfBiking grocery gathering this month, at least.

A downtown city skyline lit up at night across a river, including several strings of lights lining the bridges crossing the river. My bike is in darkness in the foreground.

One of my favorite spots in the city for day 5 of #30DaysOfBiking. Best at night.

My bike against a light pole with a no parking sign on it. There are newly build/modern row houses on the right off into the horizon, a playground on the other side of the street, and more row houses further off in the distance along all the other blocks visible.

A concrete walk/platform on the edge of a large-ish pond in a park with a pedestrian bridge in the background connecting the park across the pond. Further back are more new row houses, a crane, and further back still some large apartment buildings, new and old.

Day 4 of #30DaysOfBiking, I decided to check in on the Ford site development. Continuing to developed into an odd little urban oasis on the edge of the city. More apartments would probably be good, but the rows and rows of... row houses is certainly unique and cool for the Cities.

My blue bike leaning on a black metal fence in front of a red brick building with a tiny, faded and deteriorating sign that says "United States Post Office" in the window.

I almost rode to the post office to pick up a package but I wasn't sure if it'd fit in my bag (it would've), so I ended up driving. I rode back there after anyway just 'cause. I do want to do more trips by bike. #30DaysOfBiking

My light blue bike up against a slightly soggy tree with a red park rec building and other trees in the background. The sky is grey and the bike paths are damp.

Not the most pleasant ride ever, but a quick jaunt around town for day two of #30DaysOfBiking. Only a little moist.

My bike (carefully) propped up on a small tree near the shore of a lake with a pavilion in the distance across the lake.

I somehow managed 31 days in October once, so surely I can convince myself to stick to #30DaysOfBiking.

Me, facing away from the camera, sitting on the edge of a wide, turbulent waterfall, carved through ancient volcanic rock with green trees and bushes in the distance.
