Geno's Gelato and Open Streets Minneapolis

The following is a guest post by Brian Gioielli, the owner of Geno's Gelato. Look for Brian on his custom gelato bike at Open Streets Lyndale this Sunday!

Riding a bike is fun. Eating dessert is fun. If you had told me a couple of years ago that I would be able to create a sustainable business out of these 2 very simple ideas I might not have believed you. Yet here we are, exactly one year later, getting ready for Lyndale Open Streets on Sunday! I still find it hard to believe at times. Geno’s Gelato is a bike based business that sells locally made Italian ice, gelato, and cannoli. Think ice cream truck but without the engine, fewer wheels, and I tend to avoid the more hilly areas of town.
