So much to talk about… The Secret Garden Triangle is hidden in plain sight. You can find these all over Northeast if you have the right kind of eyes. Find this one at the intersection of Washington St, Spring St, and 5th St at the corner of Webster Elementary Sunday morning at 10am. This 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. The Secret Garden Triangle is reclaimed urban land, a leftover from an imperfect street grid. PRIDE RIDE SUNDAY We 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. COMMUNITY RIDE As usual, there will be a Community Ride on the neighborhood streets of Northeast Minneapolis following Coffee (Outside) at 11:00ish. NO YOGA We are canceling yoga this weekend (and next). All of our volunteer instructors are out of town. Sounds like a conspiracy if you ask me. 😎 SOREL’S BIKE Sorrel’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. Sorrel: “It does everything I want it to do and nothing I don’t.” But 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. Sorrel 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. #IBikeNE #MeetMinneapolis #ActiveTransportation #BicycleCommute #UrbanDesign

🎵 Finale - Sam Marshall

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. Progress 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. 🫡 Open till 4:00. Lots of deals while they sell off their inventory. #EyesOnTheStreet #NortheastMinneapolis #WalkWithUs #ThirdSpace

🎵 No Such Things (Reels Sound - Listicle) - POTG

This is what community looks like. It’s about the people. We ride bikes (which is awesome). We go to cool places around town (also awesome). But we do it together. That’s the WHOLE deal. We can ride to any of these places on our own any other time of the week. But Wednesday evenings are special. That’s when we come to Sociable to be together. Thank you. See you tonight. Everyone is welcome. Ride leaves the Sociable Cider parking lot at 6:00pm every Wednesday. #MeetMinneapolis #MillCity #LifeByBike #SocialRide #ActiveTransportation

🎵 Just Wanna Rock (Instrumental) - TrackTribe

We gave away hundreds of lights for Sparcle 2026. The people just kept coming! We had no idea what to expect. Our Stations were expecting a couple dozen riders. But more than a hundred people flooded our parking lot and set out into the night! The anticipation of everyone gathering and decorating together before the ride was half the fun! #NortheastMinneapolis #ArtAWhirl #PublicArt #BMUSA #GroupRide
