It’s a Doors Open Minneapolis 🧵! Highpoint Center for Printmaking on Lake was awesome, and Heart of the Beast on Hennepin featured impressive puppets, costumes and masks including many spotted in the Mayday Parade - definitely visit these two.

When the design for the music venue at the Upper Harbor Terminal retained the heavyweight industrial structures, we gained a great outdoor space and potentially a tremendous new canvas for paint expression…

No words truly capture the Mayday Parade each year in Minneapolis, particularly this year.

Minneapolis Bridge #9 might look different but the view is still killer.

Come on out for this, see you there!

Minneapolis was spectacular today.

I've loved this week in Ciudad de México - perfect weather and Metrobús made it so easy to get around. Protected ciclovias show how wildly popular the ecobici bike share program is too. Tomorrow though, I'm excited to experience a car-free Paseo de la Reforma for those who walk, roll, and ride!

Winter Beer Dabbler was a bunch of frosty fun!

Oh, we are so back. Poet Toi Derricotte reminds us the act of joy in times of oppression is essential to our collective resistance. We can’t wait for you to join us for our car-free celebration, where we’ll experience streets as places to explore, play, and dream. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhD7...

On a sunny, cold day like today it's fun to remember we're only ~two weeks away from the opening day for outdoor ice skating rinks in Minneapolis.

Phenomenonal bit: House which has skeletons on this bench all year long took them down for October and has 0 halloween decorations. Amazing commitment to the bit

Where else are you going to find a fun group of folks taking transit to hang out and lazy float a creek through their city? Minneapolis is it. If you're here, you should join this.

Really enjoyed Minnesota e-bike rebate program commentary from @lucyrehm.bsky.social, who is also the chief House author. To paraphrase: let us meet enthusiastic response by doing *more*: www.startribune.com/mn-ebike-reb...

I certainly share questions about the effectiveness of a shared use path on that part of Lyndale given high ped/bike demand. (Note that I’m not involved directly with the Lyndale Ave project & I only recently saw the latest proposal)

🚨 All appropriate state and local agencies have been alerted and are standing by. (Don’t) shelter-in-place and await further instructions.🚨

Setup and prep for a sanctioned Minneapolis sewer tour with Public Works. Looking forward to a 70’ descent into the underground.

The @wedge.live Cat Tour is starting with with the donning of our Grand Marshall’s sash.

Mural update at Lyndale Ave S and W 28th Street: Before and After

Attending the @metrotransitmn.bsky.social tour of the Kenilworth LRT tunnel expanding the Green Line. Adjacent bike trails targeting a return by the end of the year alongside new concrete sitting areas and pavilions at the near the east entrance.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation has their electronic signage asking drivers to “consider less trips” because of the awful air quality when they should be considering their role in reducing car dependency. @mndot.mn.gov

Petrified Forest National Park rocks. How did the trees in this enormous log jam crystallize into quartz? Volcanoes covered this area in silica-rich ash from Earth’s mantle over 200M years ago. The colors beyond white that make up this rainbow are from impurities like iron. 🌈

Best Minneapolis weekend of the year with Art-a-Whirl and Doors Open. The historic Advance Thresher / Emerson-Newton building contained an awesome sculpture made from bike chain!

Older guy riding his bike in the skinny buffer on Lyndale. Hennepin County needs to include an actual bike lane when they reconstruct the street. Lyndale is going to be a bike route whether they think it should be or not. The question is how dangerous they want it to be.

Day 1 at Pinnacles National Park, this place genuinely throbs with life from mobs of condors and turkey vultures in the sky to bird song, blooming flowers and lizards everywhere. The talus caves caused by fallen boulders are fun and dark to explore.

Can recommend Point Lobos, just a gorgeous set of trails for hiking beside the Pacific near Monterey and Carmel.

Upper Yosemite Falls, Sentinel rock, and Yosemite Valley as a light rain started to roll in.

MSP > SFO > Manteca CA: 🚌 to 🚊 to ✈️ (thanks @metrotransitmn.bsky.social!), then 🚌 to 🚊 to 🚊 for that Caltrain and ACE Rail experience!

Needed a 🔥 🌯 from Brito’s Burritos and took the most badass method of transportation I could find. There might be a tornado later but #30DaysofBiking can’t wait.

💛 It’s Grand Opening day for @metrotransitmn.bsky.social’s Gold Line! 💛

I’m sure we’ll hear more as candidate questionnaires start to be released, but I’d love to see someone say “hell yeah let’s build 50 miles of protected bikeways each year” on their website.

This morning’s #mspcyclecast: Sunrise and moderate winds, commuters shouldn’t find too much traffic on Bde Maka Ska but watch out for icy spots…

Open Streets Minneapolis 2025 Request for Proposals for four (4) total events: - "Each Event contract will be for a sum not to exceed $50,000." - Pictures are location and date options along with the minimum length requirement of 5 or more blocks.

Big thanks to @brianmitchl.com for sharing this 🍦 idea! It was a good turnout of folks discovering the unusual experience of ice cream getting colder as you eat it.

With the warmer weather, this could be great - come strap on a pair of skates and meet up! ⛸️

Debating riding this morning? Grip is great, weather is warm and Bryant Ave bikeway in Minneapolis is busy! Saw 10 riders in ten blocks, and the farmstead ice rink is getting a new frozen surface.

This should be a really great event, hope to see you there!

Ice skating with the @wedge.live gang was great!

Sunny days make such a difference.

Best news of the day! Bring on the Metro Transit branded apparel for the real ones.

Hang out and winter ride with some of the very best folks, all invited!

Today was one more step along the path to becoming a Minnesotan-by-choice: bought my first pair of skates! Made my Twin Cities transplant self proud, might as well have fun if it’s going to be this cold. Anyone going skating this weekend?

Big thanks to @dantecasali.bsky.social for leading a fun group of folks across the cities!

“Ask just about anyone in Bogotá where they learned to ride a bike, and the answer will be the same: Those sweet seven hours on Sunday morning.” Imagine our city’s children safely riding through a vendor-filled downtown on a spring day in Minneapolis. slate.com/business/202...

Really incredible space photography here including aurora, moons and planets, and nebulae. www.rmg.co.uk/whats-on/ast...

Congratulations to the Midtown Greenway Coalition on successfully achieving Regional Trail status! This will allow for additional funding to improve and expand upon the single best piece of bike and pedestrian infrastructure in North America! content.govdelivery.com/accounts/MNP...

Lovely day for an afternoon 🚲 ride in Minneapolis, where Bde Maka Ska has yet to freeze. Maybe a touch windy but moments of real sun!

I love that we have hugged the life out of Bluesky’s image services on Thanksgiving; feels wholesome to share food pics and appreciation until the system just can’t take it anymore.

🦃🚨 How can @wedgelive.bsky.social keep being allowed to do this?!

A great DJ ride through Minneapolis, even in November?! It's true, see you there!

The gutter should not be counted as usable bike lane width! I can't believe this is a real discussion! It's never included in car lane width, so why would it be included in bike lane width?
