Twin Cities Streets for People

On Sunday, October 2nd, the Minneapolis Bicycle Coalition is hosting a "Joy Ride" celebrating the #1 Bicycling City in America while looking to the future of bike amenities in Minneapolis. The ride is free, open to all, and moderately paced with activities and fun events at stops along one of two routes. There is a roughly 17 mile route and a second, shorter family route of just under 10 miles, so bring your family, friends, and neighbors and join them as they highlight what makes riding a bike such a great experience in Minneapolis!

Date: Sunday, October 2, 2011 - 1:00pm - 4:00pm

Location: Gold Medal Park 1000 2nd Street South Minneapolis,MN

From the Minneapolis Bicycle Coalition's website:

Our goal is to make Minneapolis better for bicycling. We are 100% volunteer driven, and we are always looking for new volunteers.

In 2010, we are focusing on four areas of advocacy:

1. Improve the Minneapolis Bike Plan
2. Advocate for better downtown biking
3. Increase bike parking in Uptown and Longfellow
4. Bring a Ciclovia to Minneapolis in 2010

Get involved!  If you're interested in any of these topics or other ways to make Minneapolis better for bicycling, email us at info@mplsbike.org
