I was digging through Streets.mn archives and found this gem of a 2014-era post. Looking at emojis from a transportation perspective. Still no pictorial "no cars allowed" emoji (though Nick makes a point to say that ⛔️ is no entry, general but applied to cars). streets.mn/2014/11/14/transpo...

12 bridges and 18 miles of immaculate vibes. This ride will go down in legend. Thanks to @brianmitchl.com and Max “Whimsy” Singer for putting it together. 🌉

The Midtown Greenway is getting plowed right now! The Bryant Ave bike trail looks recently cleared too.

This display at the Minneapolis Central Library is so good. "Who's mentioned in the Epstein Files? Find them here."

The Midtown Greenway is open again at 10th Ave as all parts over the trail were demolished. We have a new tunnel for the time being, I'm hoping this will mean limited closures this summer.

10th Ave S bridge demo, end of day 1.

The 10th Ave Bridge over the Midtown Greenway had the deck removed yesterday, and the span removal making progress today. The first two photos are from around 6:30 PM on March 11, and the latter two from 3:45 PM on March 12.

It's happeninnngggg 🚧🙌

The Midtown Greenway will be closed with a detour starting on March 11 for the removal of the 10th Ave Bridge deck. The detour goes from Park Ave, along 28th St, and to the Cepro Site park via 10th Ave. Thankfully a short detour for this bridge! www.minneapolismn.gov/governm...

It's March 9th and 49ºF outside and I just heard someone in my building's air conditioning start up outside my window. This feels too soon!

Congrats to Rep. @katiejonesmpls.bsky.social and family, who biked to the hospital last week and came back with baby Hans. Here's what she told me about the ride:

Keep May 9, June 6, July 12, and August 22 open on your calendar IMO IJS JAT. There'll be other surprises along the way, too!

There are so many trolly buses in Vancouver, Canada, I'm in love.

I don’t know what this means, but I’m there. You had me at “bike party”!

This is so Minneapolis core. Linking to word_on_the_street on Instagram. Seen on the Kenilworth Trail near the river.

I'm such a biker that when I go downhill skiing on groomed runs, only my arms are sore the next day (from using my poles). Every day is a leg day when bike commuting!

The Alex Pretti Memorial Ride in Minneapolis today was massive and so powerful to be a part of. I've seen estimates of 3-5 thousand riders, taking up to an hour for the ride to pass through an intersection.

29th Street Rail Corridor (1970s; 1980s; 1990s) Source: Hennepin County Library The railroad tracks were part of a Milwaukee Road railroad corridor. After this route was abandoned, it was transformed into the Midtown Greenway, a rail trail in Minneapolis that follows the path of the old route. ...

There Are No Safe Streets under Fascist Occupation: https://streets.mn/2026/01/23/there-are-no-safe-streets-under-fascist-occupation/ ICE surveillance and "occupation" are hollowing out Twin Cities' cultural corridors.

It was awe-inspiring to see so many people out in the cold (-10ºF) fighting against ICE and fascism at the #ICEProtest in #Minneapolis today. Alex Kormann from The Minnesota Star Tribune got a photo that included me and some friends.

I'm on the 4 bus heading downtown and this is the most packed I've ever seen a bus in Minneapolis, ever. Everyone is bundled up ready to stand outside in -14°F weather.

Wow, it's sunny and already 11ºF warmer than when I woke up, it's only -10ºF right now! #mnwx

I dove into the details about why Green Line Extension testing is going to take over a year, and the answers may surprise you! www.minnpost.com/cityscape/20...

🚨 An emergency bike ride has been declared. We depart Mueller Park tonight at 7:30 pm.

The lights are fixed!!! The Midtown Greenway is now lit up from the river all the way to Uptown!

Check out my latest post about the Nicollet Avenue bridge over the Midtown Greenway! It’s a small addendum to my pair of historical deep dive pieces from this past spring.

I visited the Upper Harbor Terminal late this afternoon now that a new path is completed. The site offers some incredible views, new access to the river, and I think is going to be a popular spot! www.mwmo.org/projects/upper-h...

Oh snap, thank you to Arts Midwest for covering our DJ rides! We have so much planned for 2026, I'm pumped to watch it all unfold. Thanks to all the DJs we had out this year! 2026 is going to be AMAZING!! www.instagram.com/reel/DQ-ASmd... @perennialcycle.bsky.social @joyfulridersclub.bsky.social

Sounds like we may be able to do this all over again tonight?? From last night at the W 21st Street train station in Minneapolis.
