Other Twin Cities media personalities lead tours to places like Europe, Africa and the Galapagos Islands.
Cathy Wurzer is leading a bike ride to the Minnesota State Fair.
On Monday, the MPR News host of the "Morning Edition" and "Minnesota Now" shows will be taking an e-bike from the MPR studios in downtown St. Paul to the State Fairgrounds in Falcon Heights where she's scheduled to do a State Fair Weather Quiz Show with Dr. Mark Seeley at 2 p.m.
And you're invited along for the ride.
"Funny isn't it? A brigade of bikes to escort me to the State Fair!" Wurzer wrote in an email.
The idea for getting the radio newswoman to the fair on two wheels started a year ago when Wurzer had to drive to the fairgrounds to host a live broadcast of the TPT "Almanac" show from the MPR booth. She got stuck in traffic and barely made it to the show on time.

When she tweeted about that close call, Travis Norvell responded by suggesting that she could beat the traffic by biking to the fair.
Norvell, pastor of the Judson Memorial Baptist Church in Minneapolis and a bike transportation advocate, tweets as @pedalingpastor. He successfully lobbied Wurzer to include bike commuting conditions along with car traffic reports on Morning Edition.
