Celebrating everything that makes Minnesota and the Twin Cities a top bicycling destination every September!

Ranked 5th nationally and #1 IN THE MIDWEST for bicycle friendliness by the League of American Bicyclists, Minnesota is the place to be. Nowhere showcases this better than the Twin Cities! Be a part of this exciting celebration of the trails and communities that fuel our thriving bicycling culture. The TCBT aims to unite neighbors, coworkers, family, friends with community organizations, local and national businesses, in a joyous celebration of biking and community.

• Routes for Everyone!

In 2025 we’ll offer routes ranging from 20-41 miles and even a FREE young-and-new-rider-friendly preride the day before under 5 miles! Riders from across the state flock to this annual event, drawn by the variety of routes that feature the stunning contrast between natural and urban landscapes of this area, and the unbeatable value!

• Highlighting what makes the Twin Cities a great place to Ride!

We’re rolling out the red carpet (err, bike trails?) for all the clubs, teams, individuals that make for a great bicycling culture. WE WANT YOU to be part of the TCBT.
