The stretch of the Mississippi River that runs through the Twin Cities is part of the only gorge on the entire river. Some environmental groups say removing locks and dams in the region would help restore the river's ecological health and create new recreational opportunities. But questions remain.

We usually promote via a few social posts but the efforts of these climbers to spread the word on the next DJ ride is much appreciated.

Yes. A bike emergency has been declared. We ride tomorrow, June 28. Departing Mueller Park at 7:30 pm.

Perpetual callout to how nice the Sabo Bridge is. Minnesota's first cable stay bridge and a great place to see a sunset (or sunrise)!

A Metro Transit bus stops at the Minneapolis West Lake Street Station in June 2026. Soon we’ll see buses and trains moving over and under each other just as the trains enter/exit the tunnel.

I got to the Pillsbury Ave bridge demolition a little earlier this evening. The piers look cool with the rebar fanning out of the tops. I think the piers will remain in place and get capped over (like the 10th Ave bridge replacement)?

Bridge down! The Pillsbury Ave S bridge over the Midtown Greenway started demolition today.

This is the second heavy rain and hailstorm I've had to take shelter under a tree for in the last few years. I found a better tree this time!#mnwx

RETVRN

I love Minneapolis!

Awoo 🚨

“You are like the billionaires you probably hate” 🤣 so many one liners here at the Vibrant Lyndale meeting.

I just saw @willwoodworth.com give the best facepalm here at the Vibrant Lyndale meeting. That really describes the vibe here.

I haven’t heard anyone heckle “bring back the streetcar” yet tonight at the Vibrant Lyndale meeting.

I just locked eyes with @bylert.bsky.social who gave me the best eye roll ever at the Vibrant Lyndale meeting. 🤣

This deep dive into the history of Lorem Ipsum placeholder text is so interesting, what a good video! www.youtube.com/watch?v=kL1PD...

Brian’s bike in the rain

It looks like the ramp from the Midtown Greenway to 1st Ave is starting to be installed. There is a concrete footing and a couple layers so far of concrete "Lego" bricks. The first two photos are from 5/21 and the second two from 5/26.

Art-a-Whirl is so great, so much good local art, and I ran into seven different friends this afternoon/evening just by chance. A top Minneapolis weekend!

The bump outs in The Wedge are making good progress! The sidewalks are open at 26th St at Dupont and Emerson Aves.

Updating and fixing things on OpenStreetMap is so addicting!

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. 🌉

In the latest project update, the City of Minneapolis said that the Pillsbury Ave bridge over the Midtown Greenway is expected to be demolished in early June. Dates will be shared when it gets closer.

Today!! Come after the May Day parade and ride overall the Mississippi River bridges!

The lights on the Midtown Greenway are out again, between 28th St. until 16th Ave. 😩

See you this evening! The rain won’t stop us!!

Lagoon Cinema is closed today, don'tcha know. #mnwx

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!

🚨🚨🚨Sunday's Emergency has been upgraded to a Level 1 (FULL ACTIVATION) DJ Emergency Ride. DJ @deveric.net will be providing the beats. @joyfulridersclub.bsky.social will be responsible for getting you home safely.

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”!
