bicycles

Have you ever felt that burning rage of hatred for those four-wheeled monstrosities that speed past you for the fun of it and take up the WHOLE road while you are simply just trying to get from one place to another with those two nifty pedals between your legs? Some folks feel similarly about those gas guzzling car owners. However, instead of taking one brick throw to a car window, they decided to do something more festive to help spur up a more bike conducive environment on their streets and in their communities.

With the power of many sexy legs, Bike! Bike! is coming to Minneapolis this weekend *Thursday August 27th to August 30th*. Bike! Bike! is a community-based gathering of various bicycle projects around the country that will be happening in and around the Bedlam Theatre at 1501 S 6th St. Minneapolis, MN. 

Community radio activists in Madison have put together a program about the PNC2RNC Grassroutes Caravan ride this August! The ride began in mid-August at the People's Networking Convention and wound its way through the hills of SW Wisconsin and SE Minnesota before arriving in St. Paul two days before the beginning of the Republican National Convention.

Between September 11 and September 27, at least four bicyclists were killed on Twin Cities streets. On Saturday, riders are invited to take part in a memorial ride visiting the sites of these recent crashes, leaving from Saint Paul in the morning and traveling to Uptown and Downtown Minneapolis, followed by an afternoon ride to Blaine. The stepped-up assault of car culture on cyclists is not limited to the Twin Cities; activists in the Midwest are also mourning the apparent loss of a participant in August's PNC2RNC bike ride after a car struck her bike.

Memorial Ride to Honor Fallen Bicyclists: meet 10:30am Saturday at Summit and Snelling in St. Paul
