The first Saturday ride is the Loons Loop from @bikemn.bsky.social! We meet 8:30 a.m., at Brackett Park for a kid-friendly river loop that’s just 4 miles long. It’s a collab with Joyful, Piecycle and Loons Coffee, where there’ll be free treats and coffee at the shop.

MnDOT has identified revenue for roads of $37B over next 20 years and says it needs $15B+ more. So minimum $52B+, or $2.6B/yr. The MAX proposed amount in Bike+ Plan = $146M/yr.or. 5.6% Nowhere near enough.

Somewhere on a Minnesota trail this weekend, a very serious rider in full kit on a carbon road bike got passed by someone on an e-bike and muttered the familiar line: e-bikes are cheating. We agree. All bikes are cheating. Literally every single one. Read more ⤵️⤵️⤵️ www.bikemn.org/all-bikes-ar...

E-bikes aren't cheating. All bikes are. And it's past time that the bike community recognizes the shared goals are accomplished together.

Cities should be paying people to bike. Cities should be buying people e-bikes. Cities should be rewarding people for convincing neighbors to ride bikes. Every trip by bike is a net financial gain socially. And it compounds, the more people who do it.

Psst... it's officially Autumn. The trees want you to register for the Twin Cities Bike Tour. Don't let the trees down. bikemn.org/tcbt

This is true in every city. If you want a hope of getting your bike back in the event it is stolen: 1. Take a photo of the id number (typically found on the underside of the bottom bracket) 2. Take a photo of yourself with the bike and the bike itself 3. Register it on BikeIndex.org
