Last week’s Wednesday ride was epic. It wasn’t a hard rain, but it was constant. The water dripped from our helmets and sprayed up behind us. Otherwise it was a normal Wednesday ride. We chatted and joked and enjoyed each other’s company and our usual ten miles. Back at Sociable, we got BOGO ciders and chatted some more. Just a typical Wednesday night with Northeast’s best people. Come be one of them tonight. Meet us in the Sociable parking lot. Rollout at 6pm. Easy fun ride. We’d love to hang out with you whenever you’re ready to hang out with us. (No rain forecast for tonight.) #MplsByBike #MinnesotaOutdoors #SocialRide #ActiveTransportation #Humanity_Shots

🎵 Tu Sol (Instrumental) - Nacho Gomez Cao

You may know James Brenner from such giant iron and glass sculptures as the backstop at the 22nd Ave Park (formerly Jackson Square Park), or the iron and glass pieces on the corner of 22nd and Monroe. Or even the massive iron and glass ring in the traffic circle by the Mall of America. Brenner’s works use common materials, but he still manages to build pieces that are recognizably “Brenner.” “Passages” is another classic Brenner that does as much to shape space as anything he has made. Come check it out with us on Sunday morning at 10am. The Hook & Ladder “campus” features a ton of art actually (see photos) and has the JROW Sculpture Park right next door. This is what the Arts District is all about. Standard reminders: Coffee (Outside) is about getting to know Northeast’s people and places. It’s a low key hang with neighbors and friends in a different spot in Northeast Minneapolis every Sunday. We’ll have some treats to share. Hope you can make it! (Hint: bring your own coffee ;) Also join us for yoga by Lisa at the bike shop at 9am. Easy class. We have mats to borrow. And we launch the NE Community Ride from Coffee (Outside) each week at about 11am. This one is about activating our neighborhoods to make our streets feel more comfortable for people. It’s free, open to all, and created to foster community. And that’s you! #MplsByBike #NortheastMinneapolis #ExploreByBike #PublicArt #Walkable

The first Jacle Halloween tour was success! What a NIGHT! Turns out Northeast has a shocking and horrible past (and present!). Your costumes were awesome, everyone! PHOTO 1 CREDIT: Josh @ClaySquared #Halloween #NortheastMinneapolis #ExploreByBike #LocalHistory #GroupRide
