@genosack 🚲 Solidarity forever with Palestine, Solidarity with our friend in Gaza named Mohammed, who lives in difficult situations with his family in light of the brutal war that was imposed on them. They miss all the basics of life. They were deprived of food, safety and warmth. Their condition is heartbreaks. At the end of the video, this is Mohammed’s beautiful and little sister who is in bigger situations than her. She asks you to help and wishes to live like the children of the world. You, my friends. Her only hope. Let’s be together and help her and show our love and assistance to this beautiful family. Any amount that will change their lives. The donation link for them will be in our story and profile. Thank you. @mohammed._.sameer1 @mohammed._.sameer1 FREE PALESTINE. ARMS EMBARGO NOW. END OCCUPATION. END IMPERIALISM. END APARTHEID. END COLONIALISM. SOVEREIGNTY FOR ALL INDIGENOUS PEOPLE AND LANDS. END THIS RACIST WAR PERPETRATED WITH OUR TAX DOLLARS. 🇵🇸🌎🇵🇸🌎🇵🇸 @gazasunbirds @gazasunbirds @gazasunbirds

@versus_raceteam Cyclocross in Durango brings the 🔥 Highlights from this fall’s @ziataqueriadurango 4 Corners CX Series included the unsanctionedest of courses, free practice races, sketchy off cambers, and hot dog handups 🤮 Thanks for everything @flccycling we’re already psyched for next year 💘

@handupracing if you like vintage mountain bikes, grainy film, and/or seeing a bunch of your bike friends in the dead of winter, you’ll have a good time at this movie screening 🙂 our amazing sponsor @wolf_tooth_comp organized this! monday, december 16, be there or be ⬜️.

@joyfulridersclub Patrick purchased this Santa Claus suit especially for this past weekend’s @santa_cycle_rampage_msp ride but was unable to make that epic-festive event due to sickness. He’s excited to wear the suit to this week’s Minni Dazzle Ride instead, where the most festive rider will win a $50 gift card from @fultonbeer. (Patrick will be exempt from being selected.) Join us for the festivities this Thursday, 6 p.m. at Fulton’s North Loop taproom! We’ll do a holiday hot lap parade and then return to the taproom for all the fun.

@mncyclingfederation Members meeting tonight, 6pm at Northern Coffeeworks or online via Google Meet! We will be taking our final round of nominations for open board election positions, elections will be taking place this week. https://meet.google.com/erv-yjkj-xwb

@recoverybikeshop Wednesday at 5:00 is the big Open House at Edison (cafeteria) to see what MNDoT is cooking up for Central Ave. Meet at Recovery Bike Shop at 4:30 and we’ll ride over together (it’s five blocks). This is a big deal. I wouldn’t say Central controls our lives, but it certainly gets a big say. And it’s just no fun. Most of its 100 or so feet are dedicated to traffic. Thousands of cars (tens of thousands) flow through our neighborhoods from the suburbs to downtown and back again on Central Avenue every day. These cars bring customers and goods and friends and so on. But they also bring speeders and pollution and noise. What if there was a way to have shoppers and deliveries and friends without the car crashes and without the taxes and without the ground shaking traffic (while still having cars)? Central is enormous. We can have so much more than traffic. Join us Wednesday. We’ll talk about how to make Central AMAZING and then go together to the MNDoT Open House to talk with the planners. (And bring your helmet for bike lanes!) #IBikeNE

@greaseragbikes Our December Full Moon group ride will be this Saturday, Dec. 14, and will go from food hall to food hall! Come about 6:30 pm if you want to eat dinner with us, or show up closer to 7 pm to join us for a fun bike ride. We'll be starting at Eat Street Crossing (2819 Nicollet Ave., South Minneapolis), continuing on to the Market at Malcom Yards, and will end with an optional loop back to Eat Street Crossing. This route will be about 5 miles one way or 10 miles round trip. The pace will be about 8-10 miles per hour so we can have conversation, and we will stay together. No one will be left behind. This ride is open to all FTW bike riders! Invite your friends! It is organized by Catherine Jett (she/her) and Karla Hovde @k.eli.h (she/her). Please post in the Facebook event (https://fb.me/e/6NMeqyFps) or send Karla a DM if there is anything we can do to make this event more accessible or if you have questions. Bring a lock, some money if you want to get dinner or snacks, some warm layers, and bike lights. Let the organizers know if you need to borrow any of these things. @k.eli.h

@ne.anders.thal We had a FATtastic day. #ridejahfatbike #fattimesatridgemonthigh #fatbikeshit #globalfatbikeday #globalfatbikeday2024 #gfbd2024

@behindbarsbicycleshop Got that Cedar Lake Itch again.. Forecast is looking good for the last Full Moon of the year! So we're hitting it classic-style. Gonna roll out from Behind Bars a bit after noon, and ramble our way out to the Cedar Lake Mound for the ol' stick fire session. Bringing a warm beverage and seasonal snacks is encouraged! I'll be bringing an amount of mulled wine, cider and hawt dawgs. Maybe I'll find some chestnuts? Maybe you will? It's the time of year to reflect on the last 300-something days, and what's a better way than to gather around a fire, sharing space and food with friends new and old? Share some summer memories, make some summer plans. See you all next Sunday!

@bikejerks Happy Global Fatbike Day, ya nerds! #fatbikeshit #fatbike #wintercycling #globalfatbikeday
