The way points of this bicycle route:
This is the best way I've found to avoid riding down 55 when going from Golden Valley to Minneapolis.
Glenwood between Wirth and 100 shows up on Hennepin County maps as a bike lane; there's a good shoulder, but no bike markings here.
An alternative would be to take Kenilworth between Cedar and the Greenway; it's probably better than shortcutting through Dean Parkway, but a little longer and I'm lazy.
Entering the Midtown Greenway; the Lakes would be an option, but they're crowded and not quite as direct.
Lots of traffic on Bryant; it has bike route markings on the pavement, but it's no wider than most smaller arteries.
