An example of some stellar bike infrastructure in Minnesota. To my knowledge, it’s the only double round about (cars up, bikes below) designed like this regionally, if not nationally. It’s a high traffic area, with primary, mid and high school immediately adjacent. Sees lots of use! #bikesky #urban

#solarpunk in action! Bhutan is aiming to create the Gelephu Mindfulness City, a place with a series of communities forming a metro area, but fully PART of the land, working with the environment, not against it. Watch the video for more details. Looks amazing.

Jackpot Trail in northern Minnesota is one of those trails that you just wanna keep riding. And riding. And riding. It draws you in with brilliant flow and fun options to hit along the way. If you’re on the North Shore of Lake Superior, go ride this!

Can you show me where the bicycle hurt you? It’s clear that it did. Saddle hurt your taint? Smoosh your passes peas into the stem a time or three? Or was this you forgetting how brakes work?

Lolz. You’re the one hiding behind a 3000lb cage, afraid of some two wheeled joy seekers.

Waters gettin’ high. Might lose a bit of our trails to the water demon for a while. Hoping for some weather diversion to our north! #singletrackmind #durtneverhurt #springtrails
