Bicycles Deliver the Freedom that Auto Ads Promise.

Tales from the school bus stop: I watched a driver glued to their phone blow through a stop sign and turn the wrong way down a one-way street. Completely oblivious to their surroundings and the danger they posed to everyone else.

What are you doing down there?

Abolish ICE.

My kid's school locked down 2 times last year because of ICE. Abolish ICE. Abolish DHS. Abolish the campaign of terror against our families, friends, and neighbors.

Bike lanes have a car problem.

‼️🚨MPLS MISSING BIKE 🚨‼️ If you see this bike throw a lock on it and shoot me an email walkingminnesota@gmail.com (I refuse to turn on social media notifications but will turn them on for email for this beautiful bike)

Occasionally On Here, I rip fellow Boomers who point to their high first-house mortgage rates (mine was 8.75% in 1994) and wonder Why The Youth Can’t Figure Out Home Buying. Obviously, it’s the prices! Here’s a solid piece explaining just how historically bad it is: wapo.st/4zGZTO5 (gift link)

Apparently, his toy was full of clouds.

I've never struggled to believe reports of bad behavior by cops because even in my very limited interactions with them in my life, they've often been remarkably unprofessional, rude, and threatening. Just suggested one shouldn't block the only accessible sidewalk and he called me a p*ssy and more.

Avoid long school car drop-off lines with this one simple trick.

Apparently one of my kid’s classmates saw an ai poster on wall at school and made a petition for it to be removed And they took it down! The kids are alright

Semi truck parked in the bike lane downtown. Driver said he can’t fit his 18 wheeler in the loading dock to deliver beer. Maybe don’t drive a giant fucking semi into the middle of a fucking city.

The most fun thing ever to randomly see

On my 15-minute commute home today, I counted 53 drivers that ran a fully red light,12 drivers who put themselves in the middle of an intersection when the light turned red, and 16 drivers blocking a crosswalk or bikeway crossing.

I hate drivers

Make no mistake: It's Friday.

I keep saying "There is something wrong with drivers"...

Must have been the new bikeway that caused this.

We have a winner! The Green Line Extension will be picking me up on on June 12, 2027!

My longtime friends form the Northside are opening a Bricks & Minifigs location just south of Franklin on Hennepin. Right next to LITT Pinball. You ought to go to their grand opening this Saturday. Open from 10 am-7pm! bricksandminifigs.com/uptownminnea...

Crossing the street to meet my kids at the bus stop, a driver rolled a stop sign and nearly hit me. Another rolled through it. I said, “That’s a stop sign.” He backed up and asked what I said. I told him, “You rolled it like it wasn’t even there.” “That’s right. Fuck you,” he replied, and drove off.

Memorial sign updated at the Cedar Lake mudhole honoring Steve the Mudman, who passed away recently.

Hi, do you bike with kids on a cargo/family bike in the winter? I’d love to update my winter bike clothing guide to mention this but don’t have kids, so I’m soliciting help! Please let me know if you’d be willing to provide some perspective/experience and I’m happy to credit you on the guide.

All my homies hate Jacob Frey.

LFG! If you've been meaning to make one of these this summer but haven't yet, now's the time! Thanks to @panikadoc.bsky.social for the fantastic design.

I’m super pumped for Hennepin to finally have dedicated space for both delivery drivers and bicyclists on this block, and for the bikeway gap along Lake Street to finally be closed. This is going to be such a huge improvement!

Next DJ ride is October 3! We're going to have THREE DJs, start an hour earlier than usual, and have a bonfire in Lilac Park. It's gonna be epic. 10/3, 6 p.m. @perennialcycle.bsky.social

We successfully completed Eggbert’s first bike ride around the block.

We have the Paris map and now the London map and yet we still can’t get @mndot.mn.gov to properly reconsider I-94

The Minneapolis Police Department is on the scene of a shooting in the area of 15 E Grant St. involving multiple victims, including two police officers. Please avoid the area. Additional information will be provided as it becomes available.

There is definitely something wrong with drivers.

I need these on my cargo bike.

The Taco Tour on Lake Street will be featuring a map full of taco spots to visit, a party with lots of food, music and fun for the whole family (more will be announced soon) With special tacos, only served for the Taco Tour from several participating businesses 🌮🌟

The new separated bike lane on westbound Franklin is open between Blaisdell and Lyndale! 🚲

So the State Fairgrounds markedly increased the size of the Como bike lot this year. It’s still not big enough.

This must be what Carol Becker sees in her nightmares

The bike lot on Como at the MN State Fair at around 5PM was pretty full, but there were some spots available on the racks. Im guessing it was more full earlier. The staff onsite made it easy. This is the easiest way to park at the fair by far. But they definitely need more bike parking!

In that liminal space between sleep and awake this morning I had a revelation that what Minneapolis needs for downtown is a beautiful, airy city-owned indoor public market with low cost rent for local food and creative businesses. Honestly v weird to me that we don't already have one.

Beautiful morning for a ride, with what should be a beautiful view of Loring Park. Instead, the view is mostly parked cars.
