Took the train through downtown, then biked to my NE destination, biked back the scenic way. I love how easy it is to pull my bike on the light rail, especially at night when my tail light is dead!!

Now these are gaining popularity around my neighborhood 🤦‍♀️ They emit a very annoying, bordering on painful, buzz and strobe lights. Some say they are there to deter wildlife but they are aimed at public sidewalks. I truly don't understand why people live in a big city if they hate other people.

I'm an MPS Educator soaking up the last days of summer, and yesterday I biked all over South Minneapolis delivering yard signs for @christin-with-mpls.bsky.social She's an amazing candidate and deserves your vote in November, along with Becca Dryden!!

You love to see it. Flanagan with 334k votes and Craig with 225k 🎉 I've been refreshing this page for an hour, and it's been a consistent difference of about 10,000 votes. I happily cackled to myself and my sleeping dog when I saw this. Congrats, @peggyflanagan.bsky.social

Where can I find MN Lynx gear? Went to the Lake Street Target, (got a gift card, don't @ me) they've got Twins, Vikings, Timberwolves & Wild shirts and gear but no Lynx anything. It's not even the Wolves, Vikings and Wild's season. The Lynx are the best MN team, this is so blatantly sexist.

My sister in Milwaukee sent me this picture from the Haon Bridge this morning. The other picture is taken just after passing the yellow suspension beams. You should be able to see the skyline and the lake from here. AQI in Milwaukee is over 600 right now 😷😔

And drivers are doing this constantly. They sit right in the crosswalk, "but just for a minute!" while they're waiting for a close parking spot. But when a driver does this every few minutes, it makes the crosswalk a pretty hostile place for pedestrians.

I highly recommend buying yourself a last minute ticket to Brandi Carlisle. The show was magical and full of love. After the show, I fangirled a little when I saw Senator Scott Dibble, and then I noticed Murray Hill and fangirled A LOT & Scott insisted on taking our picture bc he's just a gem ❤️

It is so maddening that my neighbors have worked hard to clear their sidewalks and then the city comes in and piles the snow and ice from the street right on our walkways making it impossible for many people to get around.

A sidewalk shoveled almost down to the bottom and a freshly plowed street. There is a huge berm of ice and snow chunks over a foot high and several feet wide blocking the sidewalk from the crosswalk. It is completely impassable to anyone in a wheelchair and folks who can't climb or balance.

The whole idea of Open Streets is kinda blemished by MPD Traffic Control sitting on their phones while countless drivers roll through this crosswalk. This is just the 1 light cycle I recorded, but I watched about 3 dozen cars cut off pedestrians while I ate my lunch on this corner.

A lot of ppl lately have been complaining about "those fast e-bikes," as if e-bikes are a threat to our collective safety. Here's my kid gearing up for a 8-10mph ride to his cousin's house, then a neighborhood festival and later a park that's too far to walk to, but a perfect 1 mile ride.

I already didn't like Becka Thompson and her campaign, but their latest email is disgusting. She implies that people only support CM Chowdury bc of her race and/or that she (Becka) would be more popular if she wasn't white. Truly awful campaign she's running.

Email that reads, "look, I might not have the right haircut, or the desired amount of melanin. Maybe I didn't tweet the party line that one day or show up for that big protest with everyone else the next. I wasn't very good at doing the popular thing in high school either."

Minneapolis needs safe streets everywhere!! A patchwork system of safe streets is unfair to walkers, bikers, transit riders, and especially our kids. Quieter, slower, less car-filled streets are better for the humans and the planet. #WaronCars #LivableLyndale

A woman holding a sign that says "Lyndale is for people, bikes, buses. Livable Lyndale" The sign is on a big, white poster board. It also had simple pictures of a pedestrian, a person in a wheelchair, a biker and a bus. A child next to the woman has a sign that says, "Better Transit = Better Communities"
There is a street directly behind them, with a crosswalk and a FedEx truck, and a small crowd of people in the median, also holding signs.
