Get that man a belay device and some sandbags!!

Direct action 🙂

yes

Peacocking is all about differentiation. Nothing more different than a cargo bike 😜

(Happily partnered and peacock-blocking all day)

Okay, now thinking we need to collapse the false vacuum and fire up a new universe with a MUCH SMALLER Planck scale in order to accommodate the tiny violin I'm going to be playing within the amended laws of physics

While you don't have to choose a 2nd & 3rd choice candidate, I hope you do, and I hope you rank @dewayneforminneapolis.com and @jazzformayor.bsky.social mayor in whichever order you prefer. #DontRankFrey

My "radical" take is that this should be standard and unremarkable.

Former Midwest Mountaineering employee opens outdoor store in North Loop Lake State Mountaineering launched an online business last year and earlier this month opened Minneapolis store.

Yes, there is a replacement for the closed Midwest Mountaineering that isn't biking all the way to an REI in a car sewer! Lake State Mountaineering at 424 N Washington Ste 203 www.lakestatemountaineering.com www.startribune.com/lake-street-...

Thank you!

Map showing no permit filed for right of way obstruction at the location in this thread between July 1 and September 1

I have confirmed there was no right of way obstruction permit on file (or mapped correctly) between July 1 and September 1 for that location, which I believe I recognize as 40th St on the north side of MLK Park?

Filed a claim against a @libertymutual.com customer ... so far, they required that I indicate my vehicle type (had to use "other" -- no option for bicycle -- what if I was on foot?), year, make and model, and indicate on a drawing of a car where the damage was. Seems strangely car-centric 🤔

Illegal behavior demonstrated by law enforcement normalizes unsafe driver behavior to all.

This video even captures the danger of obstructing sight lines from driveways.

Every govt fleet vehicle driver should be required to attend People Friendly Driver courses. Driving is not a right.

So I think this month is the Midtown Greenway’s 25th birthday. I feel like it has to be one of the top city defining things built in in the last quarter decade? Can’t imagine the city without it…

Would love to see your favorite greenway photos 📷

lmao

28th St/Hiawatha in Minneapolis. I wonder why there isn't a stop line here for northbound Hiawatha/MN-55 cars. @mndot.mn.gov any insight?

(not that cars would stop at it, anyway, I guess ...)

Laura’s kids sit in the front cargo area of their Bunch bike. Another parent is riding a different cargo trike with kids right in front. They’re riding in a 2 way curb protected bikeway.

“I can’t bike for transportation. I have to get my kids to school & sports practice, groceries for a family of 4, etc.”

Me too, but I’m lucky enough to live in city that doesn’t force car dependency on my family for every trip we take.

More cities should ensure residents have this freedom.

Bike rack in well lit area, hidden from main store entrance, with a lone, sad bike, locked up, missing its front wheel and saddle

Same at nearby Cub

I avoid this grocery store even though it is the closest large grocery to my house because of the hidden bike parking (behind a wall next to the main exit)

Perspective from sitting on cargo bike at Target bike parking

The only way I’m really comfortable parking bikes at Lake/Hiawatha Target — attending while my partner shops

I have tried two or three doors with my R&M Load 4, and it has fit through all of them.

Congrats! I use Velosurance since January. Hopefully will never have to use it …

Me too

Stop sending us your tar sands oil, we’ll straighten right up 😜

I’m just happy we finally have a real flag, and not “one of those states that has a seal instead of a flag, idk can’t tell which one”

It’s fine. Nobody can do anything about it at this point other than stop making it worse. I expect to be breathing boreal forest smoke for the rest of my life while the planet’s equilibrium catches up to all the new greenhouse gases

Minneapolis skyline barely visible through smoke

Picking up scrap on my bike, breathing in burnt Canada. Hmmmm, feels a bit apocalyptic I guess.

at post convention party, dewayne davis explains how his campaign will be working with omar fateh and jazz hampton, says they will be a “coalition of the majority of people who want new leadership,” stressed importance of RCV and not presenting election as binary choice

Thank you, this reminds me to order my spare belt

I have and wear hats but I still want a cool one
