Twin Cities Named 7th Most Active

Time named the 15 most active cities in the United States on Friday, with the Twin Cities coming in at #7.  The graphic with the article was of runners on the Stone Arch Bridge in the Mill District.

From Time.com:

Although it has the coldest average yearly temperature (45 degrees F!) of any major U.S. metropolitan area, Twin Cities residents manage to avoid hibernation. It could be the city's abundance of water ways: lakes, wetlands, waterfalls and the Mississippi River are all within city limits. Or it could be the designated bike paths and greenway trails through which 10,000 Minneapolitans commute to work each day — the second highest rate of bike commuters in the country. In fact Bicycle magazine named Minneapolis the best biking city in 2010. If this city's residents can endure Arctic air masses on two wheels, the rest of us have little excuse.
