FREE yoga Sunday 9am at Recovery Bike Shop. Show up for yourself. Show up for Northeast.
Several instructors will be offering classes (THANK YOU!) over the next few weeks to help all of us de-stress, be mindful, maintain our bodies, and just generally take care of ourselves at a time when we really need it.
Join us! Take care of yourself. Take care of your community. Self care is activism!
Bring your own mat. Donations accepted if you wish, but showing up is a contribution. We are doing this to help our friends and neighbors.
Then join us immediately after at Coffee (Outside) 10am at Momo Cafe. We’ll share treats, stand up for our immigrant neighbors, and support a local business.

Join us at our upcoming recruitment meetings! In the interest of increasing accessibility, we will be hosting one virtually, and one in person at @bauhausbrewlabs. If you’re coming to the Bauhaus meeting, please consider bringing something to contribute to their food drive.
🗓️ February 10 💻 virtual (link will be in bio) ⏰ 7:30-8:30pm
🗓️ February 12 📍 Bauhaus Brew Labs ⏰ 6:30-8:30pm
We will also be extending our recruitment deadline to Saturday, February 21.
When I make prize bags I make them not only for the winner, I make them for the broader event community. This year for @stuporbowl 27 here in Minneapolis, this is for everyone in this city who are standing up together for what is right. It’s for all of you out in the country and worldwide who are paying attention and lending support. In hockey, the goalie is the last line of defense, and we’re all the goalie right now. Keep on fighting the good fight, and take care y’all. And Mpls, I’ll see you out there this weekend.
He’s raced plenty of Stupor Bowls, he’s even won the speed category a few times. You know him, @bikejerks has organized countless local bike events, his fingerprints are all over Mpls bike culture.
Now he’s running @wilde.bikes, continuing to build and support the scene through big community moments like @midwestmountainbikefest and beyond.
And because he always does, he hooked us up with some swag to share with you all - thank you, Jeff!!

We are the reason ICE is in Minneapolis. We are a Sanctuary City. We welcome all people. We have our flaws, but hosting the largest Somali population in the US is not one of them. Being home to one of the largest Hmong communities outside of Southeast Asia is not one of them. Being the trans capital of the US is not one of them.
Our people make us great.
This is a photo from Coffee (Outside) last Sunday, our biggest gathering ever. We posted up in front of the Ecuadorian Consulate just days after ICE tried to enter this foreign office illegally.
These shows of support are critical right now. Just being visible, just standing here chatting with your neighbors makes a difference. The bigger our crowd, the safer we make everyone around us feel, the more people feel comfortable coming out to join our crowd.
I got to talk to a couple of people from Ecuador who are in hiding (and in the country legally), but felt safe venturing out because of this crowd. That makes me proud. That makes me grateful. That fills me up.
Thank you, Northeast.
Join us at 5:30pm every Thursday at Recovery Bike Shop to walk together on Central Ave. Help put eyes on the street. Help watch over our neighborhood.
#EyesOnTheStreet
FULL SCHEDULE is up!!!
➡️ Keep swiping to get all the deets!
Even if you’re not feeling “ready” to race, we hope you can join us for any - or all - of the weekend. Being with your community is really what it’s all about!!
Thank you @crawlinginmyskinsuit for coming through for us with this dope flyer at crunch time! 😅

Trying to do normal business posting in these precedented times is tough. This is more of us just letting you know we're still here just trying to serve our neighborhood and community as we always have since 2004. We want to keep you rolling.
Seeing 5000+ riders (and thousands more across the world) come together last week was beautiful. We've always known the greater cycling community is full of folks who pride themselves in supporting and lifting eachother up.
After all, bikes can only help the health of our neighborhoods, our city and all of the people we live next to. People who disagree or can't partake still get to enjoy safer streets and less traffic.
Feel free to reach out about events you think we could help with. The bike community is a force that only needs a direction.
Look out for eachother.
Keep the rubber side down.

This past Saturday we joined thousands of cyclists in Minneapolis in memoriam of Alex Pretti, a cyclist and ICU nurse killed by ICE. This was one of hundreds of rides across the world standing against the violence that ICE continues to enact across our city.
Thank you to all of those taking to the streets to memorialize one of our own. Continue to look out for one another. We’re stronger together.
Thank you to @angrycatfish for organizing this ride, and for @behindbarsbicycleshop and @andyanastigmat for organizing a ride over to the start from Behind Bars (with over 100 riders!).

I don’t know about you, but so many of my healthy habits and routines went out the window these past few weeks. I’m suffering and I’m watching my community suffer. And there’s at least one thing we can do about it.
We’re making our space available during off-hours for free/donation healing yoga.
Come be with your neighbors for an hour of self care every week. And if you know anyone that wants to teach a class, let us know so we can take care of each other!
We have been put through a lot. And we have met the challenge. But that comes with a cost. I know I need to be honest with myself about my capacity. I also need to last.
Bring your own mat. We’ll have a way for people to donate if you wish, but just showing up is a contribution.
Self care is activism. Self care is how we get up the next day and keep showing up. So let’s take care of ourselves while we take care of each other.
#NortheastMinneapolis

🎉 Available at Pre-Reg @modistbrewing

💎 Limited quantity, while supplies last!!

Can’t be a whistle blower? Not made for patrolling? You can have a direct impact on our neighborhood AND our nation starting with the DFL Caucus. (Whistle blowers and patrollers also welcome. 😉)
If nothing else, it is a chance to support your neighbors, get a little sense of how our government by the people works, and thwart Trump’s hope that Minneapolis gives up.
To caucus, you must…
- be a resident of MN
- consider yourself a Democrat
Sign-in starts at 6:30
(If you live near Recovery Bike Shop, you’re probably caucusing at Edison High School.)
Find your location at…
dfl.org/caucus
If not here, where?
If not now, when?
If not us, who?

WAIT, WHAT?!? SHUT THE FRONT DOOR 🤯😶🌫️🫣
The humanoids @surlybikes sent us a unicorn to give away🦄! One lucky 1st place winner will take home a 55cm frameset (or size of your choice).
We can’t say much more, so let’s move along. Nothing else to see here.

MAGA has failed to change us through politics. They’ve had to resort to violence. But that can only strengthen our resolve.
This is Minneapolis. These kinds of things are happening every day now. It’s beautiful.
Stand with us. When we’re willing to be counted, we make it safer for others to join. This is how we will be heard. This is how change happens.
Follow @SingingResistanceTC to be part of the choirs.

To everyone who showed up yesterday at the brewery for our ride to the ride, at Red Raven in Crosby, in Duluth, and virtually, THANK YOU. Minnesota is lucky to have so many people who support everyone in our communities!
The Alex Pretti memorial ride saw roughly 8,000 people show up! Ride Together, Stand Together
Shout out to John Hicks for helping to coordinate with Red Raven bike shop in Crosby which saw roughly 100 riders and many more supporters lining the streets!

Community in Minnesota means showing up.
Showing up for your friends, your neighbors, and for everyone who makes and call Minnesota our home.
Community looks like checking on each other, sharing the road, and being present, especially when it matters most.
Cycling It’s a way to connect, to slow down, to see each other, to build trust, joy, and belonging mile by mile.
Minnesota is stronger when we move together.
And we belong here.

#unaregiaenminnesota #community #mpls
@behindbarsbicycleshop held a caravan ride that attracted 100+ cyclists from Northeast Minneapolis to join the larger 'We Ride In Unity' memorial ride for Alex Pretti organized by @angrycatfish . The memorial ride was attended by an estimated 5,000 cyclists from around the Twin Cities to honor Alex Pretti and Renee Good, murdered by ICE in Minneapolis. #alexpretti #werideinunity #reneegood

Octavia Butler reminded us in Parable of the Sower that survival isn’t about sameness… it’s about community, adaptability, and choosing our allies wisely.
Deuteronomy reminds us not to fear people or systems, because God goes before us and fights for us. No matter what happens with the government, we gotta stay rooted, connected, and covered.
We gone be alright.
Rest in Power everyone who died by the hands of the system. Say their names 🕊️
