Sticking around for the weekend? There's plenty to do -- sunshine or rain. We'll see you on Tuesday!

Ride around
Jealous of the bikers and their right-of-way privileges? If you can't beat them, join them! Try out the local bike share program -- Nice Ride Minnesota. Pick up your wheels at locations across the metro and start cruising. It's just $5 a day or $40 for the season (sale price available through May 31) plus ride fees. We wish you could rent a helmet, but you don't have to fret about maintenance.

Give back
Bibelot will donate 5 percent of their gross sales from today through Sunday to givemn.org to help those impacted by the devastating tornado in North Minneapolis. So, please, shop 'til you drop.

Eat DQ
Dairy Queen is local and it truly tastes like summer...even if you have turn up the heat in your car! We want to try the shake, which was rated #1 by Zagat, but that means not getting an adorable peanut butter cup mini-blizzard.

Get tix
We'll tell you all about Ovo on Tuesday, but, wowsa, you won't want to squash these bugs. If you've been waiting to see Cirque du Soleil, this is the show to catch.
