The Coalition, we envision a city where riding a bicycle is joyful for people of all ages and abilities, bicycles are the easiest way to make most trips and navigating Minneapolis on a bicycle is intuitive, and Minneapolis neighborhoods are connected by a network of safe streets and trails that invite people to bicycle year-round.
One of the ways we make this happen is to blog about it. We blog about fun bike events. We blog local bike news, like the BAC meetings. We blog about efforts to get new protected lanes installed. We blog about bike-friendly policies we support. We blog our work groups. We blog about our experiences biking in Minneapolis (and elsewhere). We blog about candidate positions on bike policies. We blog about things we DO on our bikes. And, we're always looking for new bloggers.
