I am SO excited about this! The @mplscargobikelibrary.com pilot program has been SO successful.

In 6 months we:
-trained 80 members, who collectively rode over 4,000 miles
-doubled our locations (1 to 2)
-quadrupled our fleet (3 to 12 bikes)
-brought on several volunteers
-got a grant for 2026!

im rubber youre glue!!

12 Local Groups Receive Grants for Climate Action Twelve local organizations will receive a total of $370,000 from the Minneapolis Climate Action and Racial Equity Fund.

Thanks to a generous grant from the @mplsfoundation.bsky.social we're excited to announce that we will be DOUBLING the number of @mplscargobikelibrary.com locations in 2026!

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

i am at the TDZ conference attending a talk about CAVs (connected and automated vehicles). this quote just stuck with me:

"how can we make things safer by removing the driver?"

driver behavior is so problematic we are now talking getting rid of drivers all together. i have so many feelings.

during the last shutdown, contingency plans covered gaps like this. there is no excuse for hunger in our land of abundance. the greasy horror show at the federal govt level generally washes over me in waves of nausea, but this is hitting me acutely.

i grew up on food stamps (SNAP) when it looked like monopoly money, when you couldnt buy imported foods with it, and when my single mom was making minimum wage in the 90s. because of it, we never went hungry.

psa from your local bike gremlin: please STOP using full strobe front lights on your bike.
front light is for YOU. angle it DOWN so you can see where you are GOING. ive gone full KATHY CARTOON mode over this.

It would be ironic if the war on cars was won because of robotaxis/self driving cars actually yielding to people

kid friendly + ped friendly = good for everyone!

3 people who appear to be two parents and a child wait for a light on their bikes. They’re riding on Bryant - a sidewalk level protected bikeway

If you don’t frequently see families with kids traveling to destinations by bike, your bike network isn’t safe enough (&/or your zoning forces sprawl & car dependency).

If you live/work/play/travel near 35th/36th St and want to make sure the upcoming reconstruction meets community needs, please join my friend @chrisvaughan.bsky.social on Monday!

RSVP via the link in his post and please reshare to help spread the word.

on it!

come check us out at open streets!!!!!

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

feel like taking your biking and education skills to the next level? wanna dive deeper into bike (imma sneak some ped stuff in too) practices, law, and learning? im leading my first LCI seminar at @bikemn.bsky.social in October and i'd love for you to join! www.eventbrite.com/e/lci-semina...

The federal government under Trump is the exact terrorist state that conservatives always say they fear.

But they love it. They always have. They have just always feared that their opponents would do to them what they want to do to the groups they hate.

The Bryant Ave transformation has been revolutionary! If we can build bike infrastructure like this all over Minneapolis, tens of thousands more people will feel comfortable biking around our city.

Real talk: We now have more bikes than we do storage, money for repairs or volunteers to manage check in/out.

What a good problem to have!

But if you want to see us use our full fleet (& expand it) consider making a donation or becoming a volunteer.

“The school drop-off ritual is a powerful curriculum, teaching kids that they are packages to be delivered and picked up, and that they require constant adult supervision” 😩😩😩

NEW EPISODE: we've seen Mayor Frey go from "end homelessness" to crushing encampments and endorsing a position expanding incarceration for folks experiencing serious mental illness. It's 2025 and a Trump executive order takes the same position. How did we get here? millcityhall.com/episodes/202...

State Patrol: Driver who hit mother, kids in Twin Cities intersection and fled is police chaplain One of the children, age 2, remains in critical condition, a hospital spokeswoman said.

“The suspect said ‘he was distracted by a text message on his cellphone,’ according to the affidavit. ‘He stated that he opened his texting application, and when he looked to read the message, he heard a bump.’” www.startribune.com/state-patrol...
