Nice Ride Minnesota

You don't have to be a professional cyclist with shaved legs and skin-tight spandex to be a winner at our tour. The Tour de Nice Ride will showcase the wits of Nice Riders across Minneapolis. When our tour comes to an end, we'll show France how Minneapolis parties at the Bedlam Theatre.

• Download the Tour de Nice Ride manifest. (124k PDF)
  Print your own copy or pick one up at The Midtown Bike Center.
• The manifest contains clues that help you determine which Nice Ride stations will be "checkpoints".
• 5:00pm, the Tour begins, and you'll have until 7:30pm to ride to as many checkpoints as you can. Collect a stamp from a Nice Ride volunteer at each checkpoint that you ride to.
• When the Tour ends at 7:30pm, or when you've collected as many stamps as you can, pedal over to the station near the Bedlam Theatre, located on 16th Ave S at the Cedar-Riverside LRT.
• When you arrive via Nice Ride bike you'll receive one stamp just for showing up at the station. This stamp will get you free entry into The Bedlam during our Nice Ride Happy Hour (7pm-10pm) , AND allow you to enter your manifest in the raffle for some sweet prizes.
• 8:30pm, we'll begin drawing names and handing out some stellar prizes. The more stamps you collect, the better your chances are, and larger the prizes will be. We'll also be giving away some free Peace Coffee and Nice Ride gear to random partygoers who seem to possess the spirit of the Tour de Nice Ride.
• 10:00pm, Nice Ride Happy Hour ends, but we expect that the party won't.
