Hello.
I'm surprised there isn't an entire regional forum dedicated to MSP already. Anywho. I have Questions.
Situation: Due to *changes* made by the VA/DOGE/other evil actors, I have to go to an in-person doctor appointment in Hayward WI on September 16th or I lose my VA Healthcare completely. Travel expenses are NOT covered, because apparently the world decided to take a sportsball bat to my face about this whole affair. so it has to be done with minimal expense.
Mission: I'm going to fly to MSP on 9/14. use a rental for the day to get to the doctor appointment. and fly out on the 18th.
Desired effect: well first off, make sure that my access to life-sustaining medications doesn't get cut off (woo-hoo getting blown up in Afghanistan suuuuuucked!) but as a second-order effect, I would like to adventure across the area. I am a foodie, and obviously I also have a thing for the bicycles. I prefer to mix these two things as much as humanly possible.
Question 1: Can I use the blue line to explore MPLS for the morning of 9/15, fooding as much as possible from a wide range of delicious eateries while still being able to make it back to my hotel for a teleconference by 2:30 PM? I *could* do the teleconference in a park to make the adventure last all day
Question 2: can I make use of the green and blue line to strike out for St Paul on the 17th and reach the culinary delights within that city? I intend to, like an otter, place the city upon my belly like a clam and pry out its delicious things with the rock of light rail.
Question 3: can these two days be ...... intensified via swift acquisition of a rental ebike? I know there is an ebike library, but wish to know the mechanical details.
