IMO Bloomington lags WAY behind Richfield on safe street design. They can do far better.
An upcoming reconstruction project has the potential to bring high-quality infrastructure changes that connect the community and extend continuity with the rest of Nicollet.

It is not encouraging to see new debris pop up along the routes I ride with my kids. It’s constant.
When you move around primarily or exclusively by car, you may not see the evidence of car crashes around you:
bent sign posts
broken car pieces
broken windshield glass
tire marks, etc.
For those who travel by 🚶🏻, 🚲, 🦽 & 🚌 these reminders are everywhere on sidewalks & streets.

Rad Power Bikes sends employees notice of ‘potential’ closure as efforts continue to ‘save Rad’
Read the full November 7 WARN letter (PDF). Seattle-based e-bike giant Rad Power Bikes has filed official notice to Washington State as well as the company's 64 Washington employees that the company could end operations "as early as January 2026." A November 7 Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification ("WARN") filed with the state (PDF) lists both service-level workers at the company's retail and repair shop as well as corporate workers at their Seattle headquarters, including top-level positions like CEO and CFO.

This combo is actually the core experience we designed for
Well, one of the positives of daylight saving time ending is getting more use out of my new @bikelaneuprising.bsky.social jacket. I’ve found throwing it over top of my down jacket is a pretty solid combo even down to 30° F or so which is the coldest temps I’ve ridden in with it so far. The fit is 👌🏻
