Found this on the outside of a bus shelter downtown.

Working on a custom order for one of these. I think I figured out a better installation method.

Oh uptown…
ETA: Some people wondered why this bike was in ice. Basically it’s because the bike sharing program only runs from April-October so this is a way to advertise its springtime return.

My daughter, Audrey Hull, was recently killed by a truck while riding her bicycle at the corner of 15th Av. and 4th St. in Minneapolis.
If the city had hired a bicycle and pedestrian coordinator years ago—a position that exists in many comparable cities—the changes now proposed for that demonstrably dangerous corner might have been in place on April 21, 2011, and Audrey might still be alive.
I urge Minneapolis to proceed with its plans to hire the bicyclist and pedestrian coordinator so that fewer families will have to bear the emptiness that I now carry in my heart.
Harry Hull, in a letter to the Star-Tribune regarding this woefully misleading article (via thedependentclause)
It will probably save the city money in the long run since biking means less congestion, less road damage, fewer traffic injuries, more local business, etc etc so the argument that we can’t hire a biking and walking coordinator during a budget crisis is ridiculous. PLUS we just got national attention for being named #1 bike city in the US

I used to log about 100 miles a week on my bike and my hands would get pretty numb. So I doubled up on my handlebar tape and wrapped it all in hockey tape. It makes it more waterproof, has a better grip, and doesn’t slip down the bar after lots of use

Mikael Colville-Anderson “Why we shouldn’t bike with a helmet”
You are less likely to be killed in a mile of cycling than a mile of walking so why is so much effort put into policing cyclists’ helmet use?
