2023 New Jamis Allegro A2 14” $350

This is a great bike for recreational paved trail riding or thanks to its versatile frame with plenty of eyelets, it can be optioned out with a rack and fenders for commuting or fetching groceries. The drivetrain is a 2 x 8 speed with Shimano shifters and derailleurs. The brakes are Tektro hydraulic with 160 mm discs. The tires are 700 x 35. To sum up: this bike is relatively light (26 lbs), quick, comfy, and pretty. It is sized for riders right around 5 foot – plus or minus a few inches. MSRP for this women-specific design is $829.

Hey Nielsen, this is one of your guys (N12) passing me this morning on my way to work. Oncoming is another one of your trucks. Most of your drivers — N4 and N9 — are awesome because they wait to pass and give me plenty of space. But this guy? Someone is going in the ditch or worse. Please inform your driver that MN law requires drivers give bikers three feet of space for safe passing. Location: Third Ave/Le Sueur County Road 21 near Le Sueur 101.

We need your help! St. Peter recently won a MnDOT grant to create our first active transportation plan. Yay! Please click the link https://talk.dot.state.mn.us/st-peter-active-transportation-action-plan/ to tell us what intersections and streets need to be looked at for walking and biking. Think about routes and destinations like downtown, school, work and shopping. Think about kids and senior citizens. And think about tourists. Our award does include funding for a demonstration project so you will soon see some action. Thanks!
