\u201cBiking is central to the healthy Minneapolis lifestyle and to a lot of people\u2019s decisions about where to live in and around the city,\u201d said James Garry<\/a>, a Redfin agent and avid biker in Minneapolis. \u201cIn the past year, several of my clients have chosen to buy smaller houses in South Minneapolis rather than larger, similarly priced ones in the suburbs, simply so they could bike to work during the week and around Lake Harriet<\/a> on weekends.\u201d<\/p>\n
