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 🕊️ #bikingwithbaddies #iceout #ice #minneapolis #bikelife

Lots of love for friends who came together to pull off something that should’ve been nearly impossible. @bonesawcyclingcollective @geno_atb @melanin_in_motion @unsanctioned.rides and The Price Brothers and all the ACF fam for holding it down all week. 230 rides confirmed, 43 states, 14 countries and one community. We’re riding for all, for Alex. Dozens of mutual aid initiatives across the country taking care of one another. - Ride details for folks that have been asking. The route will not be published 8.3 miles point A to B Meet at Washburn Fair Oaks Park, 1:00pm There is no official departure from ACF, the park is the meeting spot We will start talking about 1:15 Hope to depart at 1:30pm (bring a bell on your bike we will be ringing this before we leave 10times) 8.3 mile ride to VA community Center. Closing remarks, open mic, snacks provided by community partners @northerncoffeeworks @glamdolldonuts @surlybikes @atuvava @bakerswifempls @duckduckcoffeempls and more After the VA, friends @vennbrewing offered open space to folks to gather and talk more, albeit a little more warm, likely. They also said $2 off drinks with a helmet for folks who partake. We have a friend Dan, who has provided thousands of Peaceful Observer vests, for everyone to have if they’d like. He’s just asking for a donation of what ya can. - Rules, take care of one another. We will not be policing language during the open mic so if yer thinking children, keep that in mind We have Marshalls, medics, and security We are one, we are the streets, we ride together, we stand together. We are revolution. Music by @willicarlisle -Jarrod

🎵 A Certain Kind of Fool - Willi Carlisle

Alex was one of us, could’ve been any of us, so as we mourn, all of us can come together in unity to remember Alex for what he was. A kind and caring soul put on this earth to be the light for others. Although his light has been extinguished by this fascist regime, it hasn’t been lost. If anything, those sparks fell and ignited something in us that’s been hiding all along. We are stronger together, and they can’t take us all. We’ve gathered together a community of cyclists to remember Alex Pretti. Please join in, near or far this Saturday, 1/31 1:00 PM Central Time - We’re asking folks to host rides and come together. Bike shops and non-profits, cycling orgs and alt cycling collectives, city and rural. We are many but we stand together as one. - If you’d like to join in and gather folks together, please print the flyer and tag us on social media so we can share where your ride will take place. Files attached are courtesy of Casey Robertson of Robertson Design aka @champagne_rodman - Minneapolis joins together Angry Catfish Bicycle, Bonesaw Cycling Collective, GenoSack, Melanin In Motion, The Price Brothers, Unsanctioned Ride group and others. We hope folks from all over join together in unity as well! Contact Community@angrycatfishbicycle.com for more info
