I created a Starter Pack of folks who have attended at least one (1) or more Joyful Riders Club or 30 Days of Biking events in the Twin Cities, as well as adjacent organizations! Please let me know if you want to be added—still room to add about 80 people. go.bsky.app/UDWRiVQ

I finished A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms in just a few days and I need more, more, more. I hope the TV show covers their time in Dorne, which is only described after the fact in the novellas.

It was nice. Lots of familiar SPBC faces, and BikeMN folks. We even had a project manager from public works join us. Lots of good observations about what will make it a better place to ride

When it's facism so you're out dancing to the song about losing yourself in the music because of fascism @deveric.net @patiomensch.bsky.social

So much fun riding around St Paul tonight, dumb dangerous concrete bollards back blocking the Shepard bike path not withstanding.

Thanks to @joyfulridersclub.bsky.social for bringing the party!

How does it feel to organize three social rides three days in a row? Pretty good! I’m pacing myself and trying to preserve my social energy.

We have one DJ ride left in 2025 and it’s tomorrow night! Meet at @perennialcycle.bsky.social at 6 p.m.

Patrick Stephenson @patiomensch.bsky.social · 5d

Successful DJ ride! I got Burger Dive with @puzosuperelli.bsky.social afterward—one House burger, one Ghost Pepper burger for me, plus an Old Fashioned. I’m so happy.
