An original production by GearJunkie.com and Twin Cities filmmaker Erik Nelson (www.eriknelson.co), '50 Reasons' stakes a claim that Minneapolis is the bike capital of America. The film documents the local bike culture, from publicly-funded trails, infrastructure, and programs, to engaging Minneapolis/St. Paul personalities and bike-based businesses. The film reveals a cross-section of the city's scene to make its case that biking in Minneapolis/St. Paul is unique to any other experience in America, including a diversity of biking options, vast public support, bike art and culture, bike design, competitions, massive adoption of bike-commuting, and a population that rides year-round, from humid summers to the depths of the Minnesota winter. The full list, including 50 "reasons," are below. And this is just a start to what makes riding in Minneapolis/St. Paul the best in the U.S. 1. The Grand Rounds Scenic Byway 2.
