Last week I was biking downtown and was stopped at a stop light. A car slows to a stop next to me - the driver is already on her phone. She didn't look up once, and was still on her phone when the light turned green and she drove off. Absolutely incredible stuff.
Looking at the driver next to me staring at her phone and wondering whether she'll put it down or not when the light turns green.

Special summer edition of #MSPCycleCast:

1) obv bad air quality due to wildfire smoke.

2) chip sealing on Bryant is causing intersections to be very messy & potential slip/fall hazards for bike/peds. Watch out!

Scenes from a traditional 15 min American city:

Tonight @nissamitchell.com walked to a haircut 2 blocks away, then walked to see a used bike.

The kids & I met her there in the @bunchbike.com .

She decided not to buy the bike, so I hopped in the front & she rode our family of 4 home on 1 bike.

Where would you suggest a cycling newbie look for quality but adorable cycling clothing? I’m still trying to see if I like it so I don’t want to drop $150 on padded shorts or bibs.

Radar showing some light precipitation (likely light snow) from Kandiyohi County down toward the Iowa border, moving northeast. Light accumulations possible this morning, but then some rain, followed by mix/slush as well. Should be some very slushy accumulations today. #MNWX

We opened up bookings about 10 mins ago and have our first 3 bike rentals in the system! 🥳

We are so excited to increase cargo bike access for Minneapolis residents via free week long rentals (for those who’ve taken our in-person orientation).

On This Day 1919: Zeppelin LZ120 "Bodensee" moored atop the Witch's Hat Water Tower to the delight of the assembled citizens of Minneapolis. It was the first and only time the tower was used for its originally designed purpose as a docking station for airships. #OTD

Minneapolitans, why didn't you tell me this was here?!

I have been riding my bike from S Minneapolis to the North Loop for over two years and never knew this little path over 394 was here on 3rd St!

(Apologies for the shaky sped-up video, I was riding at like 7mph because of the ice 😆)

I'm so upset. My bike was stolen out of my apartment building. It is a black Trek FX 3 Stagger, rim brakes, size small, 2018 or 2019, and will be missing its front wheel. Twin Cities friends, please keep an eye out! Message me for more details.

I used to dread winter because of the driving. Now I enjoy it because of the biking. Better infrastructure and maintenance would allow more people to experience the benefits of winter biking and make our streets safer for everyone.
