Summer in the Twin Cities brings with it the reappearance of pedal pubs, which can frequently be seen in and around downtown Minneapolis, powered by enthusiastic riders. If you think that looks like fun, just imagine how much fun it would be to race a pedal pub around the city!
Luckily, a pedal pub race is something you don’t have to leave to your imagination. For the 3rd year running Northeast Minneapolis is hosting Pedal Pub Races, to held on Sunday, June 10th from noon to 6:00 pm. Interested parties are encouraged to participate by registering as soon as possible as pedal pubs are available on a first come, first serve basis.
