From our local news:
A 22-year-old St. Cloud woman is in custody -- after authorities found her allegedly riding a bicycle around St. Cloud with a shotgun strapped to her back. The woman is a convicted felon and there was also a warrant out for her arrest. She's being held on charges of felon in possession of a firearm and carrying a firearm in a public place. Authorities got a call at about 11:15 last night, saying a person was riding a bicycle near 3rd Street North and 16th Avenue North with a firearm on his or her lap.
Apparently, it's not too cold for a little bike ride. Gives new meaning to drive-by shooting. Maybe it's a new Winter Olympic event and she's just training. I'm surprised the gears work in these temps. St. Cloud is an hour north of me, meaning even colder.

See, that's the kind of stuff that YouTube was created for. Maybe she was practicing for the Redneck Biathalon.
Maybe a variation on the Biatholon, substituting bicycle for cross-country skis?
I wonder what her plan for the shotgun was.
Speaking as someone who biked to work yesterday and today, I'm going to guess that the weapon was to keep car-drivers on their toes. Something about the cold makes them even more oblivious than usual.
She may have just been out hunting for some food? Squirrel? Possum?
St. Cloud is an oddball little town. The university there always has people painting swastikas all over campus and lots of harrassment based on ethnicity/race. Very strange.
WOW. I thought there was skiing in the biathlon, not biking.
Already a convicted felon at 22 and she has another warrant out against her, apparently all of the good ones aren't taken.
That's absolutely crazy. I used to live in MN; right now I am glad that I don't...
