Events like these are SO great to help folks learn about all of the different styles of cargo bikes & identify what might best fit their needs, use cases and preferences. More of these in more cities!

I want rideshare for this.

Need to transport an adult? There’s a Minneapolis Cargo Bike library bike for that!

Your tax dollars at work: We acquired an "I voted" jar opener from Minneapolis Elections & Voter Services. Highly recommended. It'll save you from having to rely on nearby strongmen to open pickle jars.

What a cool progressive program in Mpls. A cargo bike rental library that offers up to a week of free cargo bike use to residents. Love it! 😊

@mplscargobikelibrary.com spotted one of your bikes in the racks outside of Farm Aid!

The @mplscargobikelibrary.com @bunchbike.com will be at Open Streets for a while tomorrow (at the beginning of the event). Keep your eyes out and see if you can spot it!

Don’t let your dreams be dreams.

The collaboration you’ve been waiting for: @twincitiestoiletpaperreviews.com + @mplscargobikelibrary.com

Also I got to ride there in @lauragmitchell.com’s cargo bike and it was amazing 😄😄 Cc @bunchbike.com & @mplscargobikelibrary.com

"I don't own a bike, but having one this week has felt healing. When I was on the bike this week I felt peace. That's priceless." - an MCBL member, after borrowing a bike for a week Read more member stories in our full report, linked in this month's update: mplscargobikelibrary.com/2025/09/15/s...

In cities that don’t force car dependency on their residents, school drop off can look like this.

Is this the tallest cargo bike in Minneapolis?

Caught in my happy place yesterday. 🚲 ❤️

One of our members picked up a bike today and is using it to take their family to a wedding this evening. 🥰 Where are you biking today?

I’m SO excited to share that Watt Cycleworks is offering @bunchbike.com rentals starting tomorrow! The @mplscargobikelibrary.com Bunch books up fully every month, so I’m VERY excited to have another local option for locals & visitors (who can pay for a rental)! www.wattcycleworks.com

Bicycles provide to many the freedom that auto ads promise to few. (Peabody School / Ringe Ave Upper School Bike Bus, Friday, Sep 12, 2025.)

We were in Minneapolis this past weekend, and checked out the Minneapolis Cargo Bike Library (@mplscargobikelibrary.com) - an amazing community asset to help spread biking, through free access to cargo bikes! youtu.be/qxzL7mKbr00?...

🥰

What an honor to have @chiwho.bike visit and chat with me about @mplscargobikelibrary.com ! If anyone in Chicago wants to start a bike library, LMK! Happy to share tips based on what I’ve learned. My only fee is to let me borrow a cargo bike when my family next visits your awesome city. ☺️

Our @bunchbike.com spent some time with our friends across the river at @thecargobikeshop.bsky.social for a little repair recently. Now it’s home from its vacation in St. Paul and ready to go back out with a member this weekend! 🚲 ❤️

Cargo bikes are car replacers.

Please please , do we have a social impact-driven foundation in #Seattle who could fund this here? I will 99% promise to interview whoever makes that happen on my new podcast… #ClimateInfluence #NameAndFame #bikes4all

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. mplscargobikelibrary.com/donate/ 🚲 ❤️

And growing! 👀 We’ve had a surprisingly easy time getting bikes donated (from bike companies, bike shops & individuals!). The bigger challenge is $ for storage, bike insurance, & repairs (+ hopefully eventually paying our volunteers for their time). Consider a tax deductible donation:

Need to take a bunch of packages to the post office? There’s a Mpls Cargo Bike Library bike for that! (Thank you for the photo, @sdrockcab.bsky.social )

Confirmed! New record! 😎 (Note to other members: @sdrockcab.bsky.social is very experienced w/ this bike & had a plan in case a mechanical issue arose on this long ride. We aren’t able to rescue you/the bike if you get a flat, etc. away from Mpls, so please plan accordingly for long rides.)

Bikes build community.

THIS! I got on an #ETrike thanks to @mplscargobikelibrary.com which allowed be to cycle for the first time in over 40 years! It was really fun.

We're in Minneapolis this weekend, checking out the amazing bike infrastructure, but also the Minneapolis Cargo Bike library! Look out for a video with @mplscargobikelibrary.com, coming soon!

This morning our founding team ( @cooperissuper.bsky.social , @amoridesabike.bsky.social & @lauragmitchell.com ) arrived to a cargo bike library planning meeting by bike. Can you guess which bike each of us arrived on? 👀

Here's a little preview of my conversation with @lauragmitchell.com about @mplscargobikelibrary.com youtube.com/shorts/HO6ri...

I really enjoy helping people figure out what bike(s) might work for their needs & purposes. 🚲 ❤️

We had so much fun bringing a couple bikes to an event at a large downtown Minneapolis condo community with a high % of seniors who are curious about e-bikes, trikes & adaptive bikes. We’re grateful to our partners at Watt Cycleworks for bringing trikes as ours was fully booked!

Today a @mplscargobikelibrary.com member texted to let me know how borrowing a bike impacted them this week. They don’t own a bike & hadn’t ridden one in 10 years. We spent extra time at check out answering their questions to set them up for success in using the bike with their young kids. 1/2

There's a new podcast episode up on the channel, featuring the wonderful @lauragmitchell.com and @mplscargobikelibrary.com! Go check it out! Let me know what you think. youtu.be/iDLOdGwzSPI?...
