Why is Winona a bike friendly city? I am asked that a lot. My home, Winona, is a hub for road and mountain biking in southeast Minnesota.  The bluffs that surround Winona provide challenging hills for road bicyclists and the Holzinger trails within the city offer more than 10 miles of single-track riding for mountain bikers.

The Minnesota Department of Health supports local communities throughout the state to make the healthy choice the easy choice. You’re probably thinking, “What does that actually mean? And, how does it relate to bicycling?”

May is National Bike Month and never has biking in Albert Lea been more vibrant. In a 30-day span Albert Lea will host the Family Bike Rodeo, Bike to Work Day, The Land Between the Lakes Triathlon, the Kids Triathlon and Albert Lea Open Streets “A Day of Play.” All these events include biking!

Quality Bicycle Products (QBP) is one of Minnesota's best kept secrets. You won't know it exists unless you run a bike shop. It’s the place where shops get quality parts for a customer's bike when they need them fast. However, there are many other reasons you should know about QBP, especially if you run a business and care about the health of your employees and the cost of their health insurance.
