So much to talk about…\n\nThe Secret Garden Triangle is hidden in plain sight. You can find these all over Northeast if you have the right kind of eyes.\n\nFind this one at the intersection of Washington St, Spring St, and 5th St at the corner of Webster Elementary Sunday morning at 10am.\n\nThis is the kind of place that most people never experience, and may never even see, because they pass it in a car. But the walkers know that it’s a little public oasis, a sheltered spot amidst the pavement.\n\nThe Secret Garden Triangle is reclaimed urban land, a leftover from an imperfect street grid.\n\nPRIDE RIDE SUNDAY\n\nWe are hosting a group ride to Pride Fest in Loring Park. Ride leaves Recovery Bike Shop at 10:20am. Or be at Coffee (Outside) by 10:30am and we’ll pick you up as we head downtown to the parade.\n\nCOMMUNITY RIDE \n\nAs usual, there will be a Community Ride on the neighborhood streets of Northeast Minneapolis following Coffee (Outside) at 11:00ish.\n\nNO YOGA\n\nWe are canceling yoga this weekend (and next). All of our volunteer instructors are out of town. Sounds like a conspiracy if you ask me. 😎 \n\nSOREL’S BIKE\n\nSorrel’s ride is a sweet All-City Space Horse which Sorrel has decked out with period correct vintage and new components. The build geometry (stem extension, handlebars, seat placement, etc.) was crafted to match a different bike, the one that made Sorrel fall in love with riding again.\n\nSorrel: “It does everything I want it to do and nothing I don’t.”\n\nBut the important thing here is that Sorrel has been at the helm of Recovery Bike Shop for two full years now, two years of trial and challenges. Through this we have hammered and fought (with the challenges) to build Recovery Bike Shop into the place it is today and much credit goes to Sorrel for the bikes that we sell, the people we serve, and the crew that we have.\n\nSorrel is passionate about bikes, but it is a passion for humanity that has put Sorrel here at Reco. And that thoughtfulness and caring shows up in every decision. We are incredibly lucky to have Sorrel and so is Northeast.\n\n#IBikeNE\n#MeetMinneapolis\n#ActiveTransportation\n#BicycleCommute\n#UrbanDesign

July 4 is Diamonds Coffee Shoppe’s last day. You’ve got a week to pay homage to a business that has stood on Central for two and a half decades. Considered the first coffee shop in Northeast, Diamonds’ closing marks the end of an era. This is what progress looks like.\n\nProgress because Central hosts several coffee shops now. Progress because Lucy is moving on. Progress because…well…it still sucks. Thanks, Lucy for carrying the banner this far. You made a mark on Northeast. We’ll take it from here. 🫡\n\nOpen till 4:00. Lots of deals while they sell off their inventory.\n\n#EyesOnTheStreet\n#NortheastMinneapolis\n#WalkWithUs\n#ThirdSpace

We picked Trillium Park for Coffee (Outside) this week because it’s sort of an under-appreciated urban green space that suffers from being surrounded on three sides by constant traffic, but also because Trillium is kind of an outsized landmark in the completion of the Grand Rounds.\n\nNot only are bike paths along St Anthony Parkway meant to run through Trillium, current plans have the little park as the launch point for a bike/ped bridge for people crossing New Brighton Blvd, a truly awful experience at present.\n\nToday Trillium is an orphan park, but someday it will be a feature on the Grand Rounds.\n\nYOGA 9am at Recovery Bike Shop before Coffee (Outside). Free!\n\nCOMMUNITY RIDE at 11:00ish after Coffee (Outside) leaves from Trillium Park.\n\nPHOTO: In a lot of ways Bella is the face of Recovery Bike Shop. She is often the first person people meet as they come through our door. And there could not be a better person to walk our customers through the process of buying their first bike.\n\nShe is great at meeting people where they’re at. She knows everything you could want to know about our bikes but can also hang with the kid who is just giving up training wheels. Northeast is lucky to have someone who cares as much about people as Bella does.\n\nHer ride (today) is the All-City Nature Boy with Hennepin Bridge dropouts, a gift from her wife. This is her preferred ride for Mpls’ web of bandit trails. Built as a single speed with a flip-flop hub, hills are a challenge, but that’s part of the fun.\n\n#LifeByBike\n#MinnesotaOutdoors\n#30DaysOfBiking\n#BikeMechanic\n#AllCity

Coffee (Outside) 10am Sunday June 14 at the Bell of Two Friends on Nicollet Island. Cross onto the island at the Merriam St Bridge and keep going straight. The bell is on the left just before the road curves to the right and goes under the Hennepin Bridge. I’d never seen it before either.\n\nAnd come on our Community Safety ride right after Coffee (Outside) at about 11:00. And of course join us for yoga at Recovery Bike Shop at 9am. It’s free!\n\n🎥 Astrid is our newest mechanic and comes to us from the bike shops of Denver. She is a skilled mechanic, but she’s also an organizer who is doing the hard work of combing through our old systems and processes to help this place work even better. If there are still bikes on the sales floor in September, it will be in no small part because of Astrid’s work to keep us efficient.\n\nAstrid built her Giant Speeder Lite from parts around the shop. It’s probably the second prettiest bike in our collective fleet.\n\nLast but not least, Astrid will be riding with us in the NE Parade on Tuesday June 16 and you should too! Bring your bike to Recovery Bike Shop. At 5:30pm we’ll roll over to the staging line on 27th Ave for the 6:30 start of the parade. Join us! It’s the best small town parade in Minneapolis!\n\n#IBikeNE\n#SisterCities\n#PublicArt\n#MeetMinneapolis\n#ExploreByBike

Join the Community Safety Ride every Sunday at 11am. We’re riding the streets of Northeast to be a visual presence of support in the neighborhood.\n\nThis is Jane Jacobs’ concept of Eyes on the Street: avenues bustling with neighbors feel safer and encourage others to be out and about. This creates a virtuous cycle (pun intended) making it comfortable for more people to join us. And so on and so on.\n\nWe are activating our streets.\n\nEveryone is welcome to ride. Rides will stay in Northeast’s neighborhoods, so we will be close to home. Riders are free to join for as much or as little as they wish.\n\nRides start at approximately 11am following Coffee (Outside). Coffee (Outside) will be at the Bell of Two Friends on Nicollet Island this week (Sunday 10am) and the Community Ride will start here at about 11:00. Watch for our Saturday morning posts for new NE locations every week.\n\nIncidentally, we ride faster than a dog walk, but this is a slow meandering ride. All are welcome and appreciated.\n\n#SlowmoDog\n#IBikeNE\n#GroupRide\n#Activism\n#WhatCanIdo

Coffee (Outside) this week is going back to Boom Island. I didn’t plan this well (or at all), but this is an opportunity we can’t miss. So…\n\nBoom Island is hosting Beyond Walls (until it fades away), an absolutely ginormous land-mural/fresco from @saype_artiste and a small team of globe travelers.\n\nJoin us for Coffee (Outside) Sunday at 10am to see what we can see (honestly, it’s not much). But it is a happening. And it is an important project that we are more than happy to promote. With the planet as a canvas, Saype is creating a metaphorical chain of clasped hands across the entire world. Minneapolis is only the 21st destination for one of these ephemeral frescoes (created with eco-friendly materials) and the first North American site.\n\nPHOTO 1: Saype’s piece stretches across the grass behind Patrick and his Nishiki Modulus. But what you’re really looking at is a Dura-Ace track hub, a component Patrick has been riding for 3 decades. This bike, and several others over the years, has been built around the hub. All of Patrick’s bikes are quirky (to match their rider), and this is no exception.\n\nPatrick has the longest commute of anyone at the shop and today he chose to ride in on a two-speed, one of the more rare builds in the world because a two-speed tends to have all of the derailleurs but very little of the functionality. But the Dura-Ace hub makes it worth it.\n\nPatrick has more mechanic experience than most bike shops and has been in shops all over town. He’s built more of this year’s bike fleet than anyone else. We’re lucky to have him and grateful that he has chosen to settle at Recovery Bike Shop.\n\nAs always, everyone is welcome at Coffee (Outside).\n\nFree community yoga at the bike shop at 9am with @HalenAnne.\n\nAnd our weekly ride to put a presence out on the streets of Northeast starts after Coffee (Outside) around 11am.\n\n“This is what community looks like!”\n\n#IBikeNE\n#MeetMinneapolis\n#MinnesotaOutdoors\n#PublicArt\n#ActiveTransportation

Sparcle Turns Whirlers into Art\n\nRecovery Bike Shop (Reco) owners Seth Stattmiller and Elizabeth Richardson ran a Burning Man theme camp for ten years before getting banned in 2019 (but that’s another story). This year, they mustered the motivation to restart their theme camp dreams in Northeast Minneapolis during Art-a-Whirl. Dubbed Sparcle (part spark, part bicycle), the spark quickly caught fire, and they roped in fellow campmates and other artists from the Arts District for months of planning and implementation.\n\nFor Seth, the concept was simple: a night ride during Art-a-Whirl. “For a hundred bucks, we could deck out a couple dozen riders with EL wire and some blinky lights.” Even just a handful of lit-up riders parading around the District would be pretty visible. “That sounded like fun.”\n\nread the full story by Seth Stattmiller on our website here: https://northeastminneapolisartsdistrict.org/sparcle-turns-whirlers-into-art/\n\n #mplsart #nemplsartsdistrict #nempls #mnart #mnartists #bestofnempls #MeetMinneapolis

Probably you’ve already enjoyed the new Plymouth Bridge bike/ped tunnel. We’ve been using it since last fall. But now it’s officially open!\n\nThe new tunnel helps keep riders and runners from crossing paths with cars coming off of the Plymouth bridge, which can really be moving. The tunnel also provides a more direct route through Boom Island for commuters along the river. This will make an even bigger difference after the Marshall St reconstruction in a few years.\n\nJoin us for Coffee (Outside) on Sunday at 10:00am. We’ve had so many new people lately that I’m starting to feel obligated to mention that we don’t have coffee. We do bring treats to share, but I personally have never been a coffee drinker, so…yeah. But do feel free to bring your own. Lots of people do.\n\nEveryone is welcome at 9am yoga at the bike shop. It’s free. And we’ll go for a community ride after Coffee (Outside) at 11ish. See you tomorrow!\n\n#IBikeNE\n#MeetMinneapolis\n#BikePath\n#UrbanPlanning\n#BicycleInfrastructure

I just can’t explain how meaningful it is hearing from people about the John Cook House. The love and support that is being directed at us is unbelievable. It is incredibly humbling. Thank you. This community meets and exceeds our expectations at every turn.\n\nThat is why we are here. That is why we are doing this. When it was time for @RecoveryBikeShop to move out of the Eastside Co-op, almost 300 of you chipped in to buy “the worst” property on the block. It was the thing that was holding the neighborhood back. We split it in half and the two buildings became Fair State and Aki’s and Recovery Bike Shop.\n\nThis is what we do. We are Northeast. We are following your example.\n\nIf we haven’t heard from you already, please reach out. Something amazing is happening here.\n\n#NortheastMinneapolis\n#MeetMinneapolis\n#LocalHistory\n#ThisOldHouse

Another huge thank you to the crew that ran Sparcle 2026. Josh and Layl own Clay Squared to Infinity and made it possible for Sparcle to land at the Flux Arts Building Saturday night. They were also instrumental in collecting the artists needed for the dozen-plus Disco Cowboy themed make & take stations that operated at the Flux all weekend. (And Josh got conned into making the flapjacks.) Sparcle would not have been possible without these two. \n\nThank you Josh and Layl for everything you do for the Arts District and for the art world. Your support puts more ideas on the table and pushes our projects further. Your passion for this community is more than the glue. You are also the gravity and it is inspiring to be in your orbit.\n\nThank you for hosting Sparcle at the Flux Arts Building. It was the best finale.\n\n#NortheastMinneapolis\n#ArtAWhirl\n#Portraid\n#Humanity_Shots\n#MakeAndTake

To paraphrase his daughter, Marko Fields packed a single life with an encyclopedic volume of stories and lived experience. But nothing he did has had more of an impact on me than Mojo Coffee Gallery, where he brought his passions (music, pottery, and most of all people) and put them on display for all to see.\n\nOf course you could purchase many of Marko’s pieces, but Mojo has that lived-in feel of a working studio where a person has shaped and been shaped by an entire career. Mojo is part retail art gallery, part workshop and rehearsal space, and entirely Marko’s playground.\n\nThe people that inhabit Mojo on a regular basis meld perfectly with the collection of mismatched dining room and office chairs, each person adding to the decor. But every time I encountered Marko here, he stood out, not like a sore thumb, but like a king, presiding (benevolently) over his own court.\n\nMojo is one of the looms upon which the fabric of community is woven. Each of us regulars, a thread in that fabric. But Marko, in that space, appeared to be the wearer of whatever cape was being woven. Even as Mojo feels like ours, it was unmistakably Marko’s. \n\nTo me, Mojo is a rare perfect third space. For Marko, Mojo may have been first, second, and third space: home, work, and community gathering.\n\nOn this Memorial Day weekend we’ll do Coffee Outside of Mojo (Sunday 10am). But I encourage everyone to enjoy the inside of Marko’s coffee gallery too. It was his project and his contribution. Even in his absence Mojo remains Marko’s. But Marko succeeded in also making it ours.\n\nAs usual…\nYoga at 9am (at Reco)\nCommunity Ride 11am-ish from Coffee\n\n#BestOfNEMpls\n#CoffeeShop\n#NortheastMinneapolisArtsDistrict\n#EatDrinkDishMpls\n#ThirdSpace

So many people helped turn Sparcle 2026 into a reality. If you stuck with us to the end of the evening, you got to meet Vegas Vic and the rest of Deborah and Chad’s western set. Deborah is known for elaborate parties with elaborate creations. The western set is just one. These travel to Burning Man regionals like TTATC. (Incidentally, Deborah ran our Burning Man camp @StarsAndBikes in Block Rock City for the last couple years.)\n\nThank you for everything you’ve done and everything you do, Deborah. We couldn’t have done Sparcle without you and we are dreaming bigger and doing more because of you. You are a badass and I’m lucky to count you among my friends.\n\n#ArtAWhirl\n#Portraid\n#Humanity_Shots\n#BurningManUSA\n#ThemeCamp

Buy some more lights now. Borrow lights from your boring friends who won’t be riding with us.\n\nOr come to the bike shop after 6:00 Saturday for free lights from us (while supplies last).\n\nThis year’s theme is Disco Cowboy. Do with that what you will. Go nuts. I know you will make us proud.\n\nRide departs at 8:15pm Saturday May 16!\n\nThis will be epic.\n\n(Also, we’re loaning out bikes throughout Art-a-Whirl. Stop by the shop to check one out.)\n\n(Also also, The Flux Arts Building (Monroe & Lowry) will help you get ready for the ride all day Friday and Saturday. Stop by for all kinds of free costume options: belt buckles, trash chaps, helmet decorating, and on and on.)\n\nFull schedule of interactive options on the website.

Celebrate with us at Coffee (Outside) Sunday 10am at the John Cook House (948 18th Ave NE, Mpls).\n\nAfter most of a year, we have a deal to acquire the John Cook House! Of course this means the sprint just became a marathon and our little group now needs help more than ever.\n\nBut the John Cook House has a chance again. That’s because of an incredible (incredible) coalition of friends, neighbors, and community members in a growing group that has stepped forward to stand up for our history, for our city, and for our people. We are humbled, grateful, and proud. 🥹 \n\nWe are not doing this alone and we’d appreciate it so much if you’d join us.\n\nDonate money, volunteer your time, or just sign up for updates (DM me your email). Link-in-bio\nrecovery.bike/JohnCookHouse\n\nMessage me with your email to get on our meeting list.\n\nDespite months of work, we have really only just finished the first step: our group and the owner have agreed on a purchase price. We will own the house at the end of June after inspection, more due diligence, and some serious fundraising, and only if all of it goes according to plan.\n\nWe can do this! We are Northeast!\n\n#ILoveNEMpls\n#NortheastMinneapolis\n#LocalHistory\n#MeetMinneapolis\n#MinnesotaArchitecture

In honor of the Overall Bridges Ride tomorrow afternoon Coffee (Outside) will be at one of the few bridges that will NOT be included in the group ride. Meet at 10am Sunday at the railroad bridge at 18th (just south of Broken Clock and Aki’s).\n\nLots to talk about here. This bridge would be the perfect spot for the Great Northern Greenway (18th Ave) to cross the river and connect with the greenway on the North side. But BNSF won’t allow the city to put a bikeway on this barely used rail bridge. So Minneapolis is currently in the planning phase to build the first new span of the river (in Mpls) since the 1970s.\n\nAlso, the new connector on the other side of this bridge between Broadway and 26th Ave N is FINALLY complete.\n\nAnd grab your overalls, coveralls, shortalls, (or anything else) and head to the newly completed bikeway at the Upper Harbor Terminal park at Dowling in North Minneapolis for the Overall Bridges Ride. Meet at 2:30 Sunday afternoon. Rollout at 3:00 for the world’s first attempt to cross all of Minneapolis’ Mississippi River bridges (I made that last bit up). Overall Bridges is about 15 miles, but ends in St Paul, so plan for that ride home. Follow @MoonEyeCycles for all of the info.\n\nAnd as always, Sunday includes free yoga at 9am at Recovery Bike Shop and Community Ride at 11am(ish) immediately after Coffee (Outside).\n\n#LifeByBike\n#MinnesotaOutdoors\n#Infrastructure\n#CuteBike\n#GreenTransportation

The critical mass inflection point marks the moment that enough people have joined a movement that members go from exception to expected, from daring to routine, from weirdo to normie.\n\nFor the car, that moment happened in the 1920s and for the next hundred years American cities have been dominated by traffic.\n\nBe a trendsetter with us every Wednesday. Rollout from Sociable Cider at 6pm. Members get free cider. 😉\n\n#LifeByBike\n#GroupRide\n#UrbanCycling\n#OneLessCar\n#WhatCanIdo

The herons are back! And it’s mating season. Join us at Coffee (Outside) 10am Sunday at the heron rookery in the river just off of Marshall Terrace Park.\n\nThe great blue heron is arguably Northeast’s most majestic neighbor and one of MN’s largest birds. Herons are more progressive than some birds. Both parents incubate and feed the young. Mating pairs stick together long enough to see their fledglings leave the nest. Then it’s the single life and a few months of fishing and slaughtering amphibians before they fly as far as South America for the winter.\n\nAnd check on them again in a few weeks as the chicks begin to hatch.\n\nIncidentally, this week’s Coffee (Outside) destination comes by request. If there’s anything you’d like us to check out or something you’d like to show off, let us know and we’ll bring a bunch of people over.\n\n#NortheastMinneapolis\n#MeetMinneapolis\n#MinnesotaOutdoors\n#GreatBlueHeron\n#ExploreByBike

Recovery Bike Shop is where lots of people buy their first adult bike. In a lot of ways we are gatekeepers of the riding community. And it’s important to us that this community is accessible to as many people as possible. That includes our events.\n\nSo join us tonight at Sociable Cider for a 6pm rollout. We’ll explore a bit of the city together. And we’ll stick together the whole time. We have tools and expertise for the things that can crop up. And we take our time so that we can enjoy the company.\n\nFree cider from Sociable after the ride. We’ll even loan you a bike. Just get in touch before the ride.\n\n#MplsByBike\n#MeetMinneapolis\n#SocialRide\n#UrbanCycling\n#Infrastructure

We have made an offer and that offer has been rejected. The developer would rather see the house destroyed so he can build a parking lot. Seriously.\n\nHis demolition application is before the city council who must consider that Minneapolis law requires the owner to protect and preserve this historic property and he has failed to do this, leaving the house open to the elements and vandals for years. He thinks he can make more money by destroying it.\n\nMeanwhile there is a responsible party (us) willing to do the work to take care of this community asset.\n\nThe city has been levying fines. It has not been enough to protect The John Cook House.\n\nWe are still working to defend the house from bad developers and cut off this path to mining our city’s history. We need city council to enforce the preservation ordinance and follow the Historic Preservation Commission’s recommendation to deny the demolition application. We need this developer to be forced to sell. Then we need to put together a counter offer that will compel this developer to give up and let us take care of The John Cook House.\n\nJoin our neighbors and get involved. Write to city council. Help us raise money.\n\nSo much more on our website:\nrecovery.bike/JohnCookHouse\n(link-in-bio)\n\n- Meet us Sunday 10am at The John Cook House (948 18th Ave NE, Minneapolis)\n\n- Community Safety Ride to follow at 11am\n\n- Free yoga at 9am\n\n- Or come to our meeting on Monday 6pm at Recovery Bike Shop\n\nSend us your email to get more updates.\n\nWatch our YouTube video about demolishing our history for profit (link-in-bio)\n\nWe are Northeast.\n\n#NortheastMinneapolis\n#LocalHistory\n#GroupRide

Community rides (and walks) make our neighborhoods better places to live. It’s easier to see ourselves as riders when we see our neighbors as riders. \n\nWe’re making that happen every time we go out, whether we’re riding with the group or heading out on an errand by ourselves.\n\nJoin the community every Sunday at 11am(ish) for a group ride to activate our streets.\n\nNew streets every week. This Sunday we’ll meet at the John Cook House (948 18th Ave NE). Also join us there for Coffee (Outside) at 10am.\n\nFor more on our efforts to save the John Cook House visit:\nrecovery.bike/JohnCookHouse\n(Link-in-bio)\n\n📸: @andrew.orrison \n\n#MplsByBike\n#NortheastMinneapolis\n#GroupRide\n#WhatCanIDo\n#EyesOnTheStreet

Sometimes with Doug Dog.\n\nMeet at Recovery Bike Shop for a neighborhood safety walk. Last week we swept up the leftover sidewalk salt that contaminates our waters and chokes our plants (and irritates the hell out of bare paws).\n\nToday we’ll probably just stroll for an hour or so (should be lovely weather). But we also have trash grabbers and buckets available if you want to pick up litter while we walk.\n\nEveryone is welcome.\n\nrecovery.bike/events for more ways to get involved.\n\n#EyesOnTheStreet\n\n#BestOfNEMpls\n#SafeStreets\n#WalkWithUs\n#WhatCanIdo

It’s a virtuous cycle (pun most certainly intended). The point of a group ride is to get to ride as a group. When you ride with us, you make the group bigger, more visible, safer, more fun, the group has more energy, and so on.\n\nWhen you ride with us, you help make the ride what it is. You become part of the reason we want to ride, part of the reason I want to ride. Thanks for riding with us!\n\n6:00 every Wednesday. Departing from Sociable Cider. Everyone welcome. Easy pace. Free cider upon our triumphant return!\n\n#WhatCanIdo\n\n#MeetMinneapolis\n#MinnesotaOutdoors\n#GroupRide\n#UrbanCycling

(leaving from Find Furnish)\n\nIf you know, you know that Find Furnish is a tourist attraction even if you’re already completely stocked up on cool stuff for your house or apartment. Northeast’s finest vintage furniture and accoutrements since 2011 and the most unique storefront on Central Avenue (at least until Barrel Boy gets here).\n\n5 stars. Recommend.\n\nAlso, these are the people that have been showing up on Central Avenue all winter looking out for their neighbors, supporting community efforts, and standing up for Northeast. The finest.\n\nSee you Sunday at 10am!\n\nPHOTO: Erik comes to work like this every day.\n\nSATURDAY:\nIf you need something to do today, the Flux Arts Building’s Garden Art Fling market is 10am-5pm. Free garden bikes! (while supplies last)\n\nAnd the Ride for Rent is 10:30-2pm today, leaving from MLK Park.

One way to show up for our neighbors is just to show up for our neighbors.\n\nSafety walks and rides focus on empowering our neighbors to be our own change agents. Every time we head out we are creating a visual presence on our streets. We are occupying our own community. We are fostering a sense of safety for our neighbors and giving them a path to do the same.\n\nThis is Jane Jacobs’ concept of Eyes on the Street - avenues bustling with neighbors feel safer and encourage others to be out and about. This creates a virtuous cycle (no pun intended) making it comfortable for more people to join us. And so on and so on.\n\nWe are activating our own streets. We want you to know you are not alone. There are people here and they’re paying attention.\n\nEveryone is welcome to ride. Rides will stay in Northeast’s neighborhoods and riders are free to join for as much or as little as they wish. In theory, we will always be close to home.\n\nRides start at approximately 11am following Coffee (Outside) which starts at 10am in a different NE location every Sunday (which follows Antifascist yoga at 9am (free!) at Recovery Bike Shop).\n\nThis week’s ride will start at Find Furnish on Central Ave at 11am.\n\n“The way to make a place safe is to occupy it.” -Randal Bradley\n\n#IBikeNE\n\n#GroupRide\n#EyesOnTheStreet\n#Activism\n#WhatCanIdo
