As early as 2010, Prince was spotted riding a bike around Chanhassen. For his Piano and Microphone tour stop in Oakland last year, Prince rode a blinged out bike through the tunnel and graciously walked on stage before the performance.

With spring finally turning the corner, and bikes hitting the road, we teamed up with the 30 Day of Biking folks to build a few routes to hit the Purple One's landmarks around the Twin Cities.

The routes are available on Google Maps, or as GPX files, which can be used in GPS systems.
