❄️WE’RE BACK! ❄️ Our winter ride series starts the last week of November and goes through March! Make sure to dress in layers and bring lights! These rides will be 10-15 miles round trip, starting and ending at Sabo Bridge. No drop as always, we’ll ride a “stay warm” pace and keep everyone together. Last Tuesday of the month! Meet at 6:45 PM and roll at 7:00 PM 🤘

The @behindbarsbicycleshop Twenty Six Inch Tuesday ride had a great turnout with fantastic examples of classic 80/90s mountain bikes still being ridden and enjoyed. Our little adventure ramble around Northeast Minneapolis was punctuated by ride challenges, bandit dirt trails and one of the best northern lights displays seen in the Twin Cities area for years! @fairstatebeer is always such a comfortable and inviting end for a social rides. Thanks everyone for coming out and joining the inaugural Twenty Six Inch Tuesday. We'll definitely host more in the future for the 559 fans, stay tuned! #behindbarsbicycleshop #socialride #twentysixinchtuesday #26inchlifestyle #26aintdead #26ers #groupride #minneapolis #minnesota #minneapoliscyclingcommunity #mtb #80smtb #90smtb #mountainbike #vintagemtb #classicmtb

Minnesota bikers are renowned for biking through sleet, snow, and cold weather. But these cyclists are bringing a different version of chill to bicycling: “party pace” rides, accompanied by a live DJ spinning from the back of a bike trailer. Throughout the spring and summer, hundreds of riders participate in these group rides, complete with pop-up dance parties on the streets of Minneapolis. It’s the brainchild of the Joyful Riders Bike Club and local bike shop Perennial Cycle. We love when creativity rolls through our neighborhoods, lights up the night, and brings people together in the most unexpected, joyful ways! Videographer: Ellie Hohulin
