Apparently the bike trail was part of the car show today. The purple car in this photo drove down the bikeway at my child while they were riding. The whole point of trails like this is to give people, especially children, somewhere to ride away from traffic.

I got an email from the Saint Paul Classic today, and was excited to sign up, as I am most years. But, while browsing the website, I noticed a "Stop SART" tab. How disappointing! Go to bikeclassic.org/contact. Tell them how hypocritical is is to use the Grand Round while advocating against SART.

This sums up every experience I've had with cops when they are making bicycle and/or pedestrian infrastructure less safe.

🎷On July 12th we are hosting a live music event called "Careless Bike Ride: A Saxophone Experience Under the Hennepin Bridge." We will bike to the bridge and be treated to strictly the saxophone portion of George Michael's Careless Whisper, performed by as many saxophonists as show up.

Great day to get out and go for a drive to the lake.

Maybe don't park your giant suv in the only curb cut crosswalk at an elementary school's main door. And then don't get upset when people on bikes ask you to move. I said excuse me and you got all in my arms that you wanted to yell in front of children. Fuck you, move your clueless ass.

Picked up Little Caesars on the way home tonight. A driver was blocking both the sidewalk and the bikeway. I stopped next to him and watched him throw garbage out the window before driving away. Never once glancing my way. A masterclass in moving through the world without considering anyone else

the 612bike is showing “my neighbor totoro” on thursday, june 11 in loring park! super cute event @lauragmitchell.com

"No one wants to spend $8,600 on an EV that can't go highway speeds." Are you sure?

Imagine you are at 24th and Cedar in Minneapolis, and you want to take the light rail (~1200 ft or 1/5 mi away). You have to get past Hiawatha/MN-55, so what are your options, without walking into car traffic? Take the red or orange path. (orange questionable due to construction at 26th/Hiawatha)

"It’s time for Minnesota governments to reopen the sidewalks and figure out how to house folks somewhere that doesn’t result in the erosion of public space." THIS. Always this. Leaders actually believe that closing off public spaces is a _solution_. It's not! It never will be!

Updated DJ ride flyer! The June ride is this Saturday at @perennialcycle.bsky.social and will feature Jake Encinas and Nick Gunz! cc: @perennialcycle.bsky.social @deveric.net

The city’s own data shows 2/3 of Minneapolis resident bike for some trips each year. And literally 5 people have already messaged me in the last week asking for advice on e-bikes & e cargo bikes. We are not the 1%.

My kids love to ride the bus… why is Bruce so scared?

Imagine being a business owner and allowing the uptown association to do the same thing they did to uptown. They are doing it. They’ll try and get loud, force delays, maximize the negative messaging scaring all your customers away, for years, until you’re bankrupt. they’ve done this before.

Loud cheer at the mention of a bus lane. Corbin: let's make a rule that there's no cheering.

This is why I love Minneapolis. We bike to the beach. The kids swim, dig in the sand, and wear themselves out. Then we bike home. It’s hard to beat.

Emerson Elementary celebrated turning 100 today. Seeing current students, former students, families, staff, and neighbors all come together to celebrate a century of the school was pretty amazing. Here’s to another 100 years. 🎉🏫

"There is no thriving Uptown without its artists and workers, and these people deserve to be a part of a neighborhood where they can afford to live on minimum wage." YES. we have been been squeezing out the soul of uptown as we price these people out!

I agree that the people obsessed with pushing poor people out of Uptown are making the place unwelcoming to all of us.

Part of ebike summer is unexpectedly encountering friends on their ebikes. I happened to ride by @mplsfietser.bike @ Lake Harriet tonight. Yesterday we went to the farmers market & we knew which friends to go find in the crowd by spotting their e cargo bikes first.

Why, yes, I am an entitled cyclist. I need to get places on my bike and feel entitled to NOT DIE while doing it.

The People’s Pitstop: Cycling Gestalt and the Midtown Bike Center: https://streets.mn/2026/05/21/the-peoples-pitstop-cycling-gestalt-and-the-midtown-bike-center/ The Midtown Greenway moves a million people a year, but a trail without a place to shower, fix a flat and grab a coffee isn't a commut...

Trevor, we know Friday is the last day of school, but give us a call anyway. We’ve got a Go-To Card with your name on it!

If you know Trevor White, student at Dunwoody, please let him know I need to have a conversation with him on the podcast about his transportation choices. No other topic has ever spurred this much interest with my audience.

As a bicyclist you are both an out of touch elitist who rides to work on a toy and also a poor loser who can't afford a car and has to ride to work on a toy

Imagine being so car-brained you can’t distinguish between a toddler’s toy and a vehicle used for transportation.

92 years since Lyndale Ave was last reconstructed between Franklin and 31st! It's several decades overdue.

Lyndale Avenue's Wedgiehaha Falls. It's beautiful this time of year.

I was just out standing on my porch, thinking the same thing.

According to the internet, using protected bikeways to take your family to the farmers market makes you a “bike bro.” The radical agenda continues: buying vegetables and plants without needing to park a car.

Another stolen bike from Northop Elementary School 🫤 Keep an eye out, South Minneapolis. #BikeSky #minneapolis

Really cool how the all ages and abilities bikeway apparently doubles as overflow freight space for alcohol deliveries now. Very safe. Very welcoming.

Amazing that drivers will survive just fine without 94.

Minneapolis bike friends: The Midtown Greenway will be detoured at 10th Ave from May 19-22nd for bridge work. Be VERY careful if you have to take this detour on 28th St westbound as I already know of at least 2 people who've been hit by drivers not looking for Westbound bike/scooter traffic.

My god the city lakes in Minneapolis are glorious in springtime

Every day is a cargo bike fest when the free parking is right outside the coffee shop 🚲☀️

Making parking *meters* free is absolutely stupid. People with nowhere to go will just leave their cars there the entire time, zero turnover. If you have a large city-owned ramp, make that free if you must! But on-street parking being free is like worst / "greatest" hits 70s album urbanism.

The South Minneapolis Petals are hosting a community bike ride and social to support our local queer-focused community center, Queermunity! We'd love for you to join us and donate if you're able.

I joined NY’s Cutest on the Bergen Bike Bus that they ride to school every Wednesday, rain or shine. We’re adding bike boulevards and more pedestrian space on Bergen and Dean Street, from Court Street to East New York Ave. It was a wonderful kind of day.

So glad to see that the Blaisdell bike lane cone gang is back in action. Is this technically tactical urbanism? Counts in my book

I’m at 1,392 days since I sold my gas car. At some point you just stop thinking about gas entirely. I’m thinking an electric assist cargo bike was a really good investment.

If your city’s bike infrastructure is too small to fit a cargo bike, it’s shitty bike infrastructure. I have never met a cargo bike rider who wants to spar… but I’m thoroughly entertained by the idea.

Minneapolis celebrates spring with a parade of giant handmade socialist puppets and a festival where people row the sun across the lake. This year's Mayday festival was today, and I'm going to try to share some photos and videos (many taken by others) to try to explain it for my non-local friends.

We had whistles, they had guns

One of my favorite parts of the parade!

The May Day Parade never disappoints. #fuckice #minneapolis #mayday

One word for tomorrow: BATTLETRAIN
