Word on the Streets

TODAY is Your Last Chance for a FREE MBC T

Thank you to all of our new members who have joined us in the Month of October! WOW!

If you have been procrastinating, today is your day ~ it is the last day to take advantage of our Membership/T-Shirt offer.

Already joined? How about a gift membership for a friend, family member, or co-worker? A membership is a nice gift, but a T-Shirt you scored for free (and only you need to know that)? Well that makes you look like a rock star!

Bikes ~ They Aren't Just For City Streets

Happy Halloween Weekend Everyone!

I am sure many of you have plans that involve dressing up, in fact they might even involve dressing up and riding your bicycle. Do tell…

But if you want to celebrate the best Autumn Bicycling + Halloween has to offer, head on out of the city and enjoy the fun that is Cyclocross.

Cyclocross races have been going on all over the area for the last month or so and there are plenty of opportunities to still get out there and either spectate (one of the best bicycle racing events to be a spectator at) or participate.

We support all types of bicycling ~ so why not treat yourself and get out of town tomorrow for the best race of the year – the Red Barn Cyclocross Classic.

For me Red Barn is a nice opportunity to get out of the city and enjoy the best of what is Autumn and Cycling in Minnesota. Hope to see you there! Races start @ 9:30 am. Schedule located here.

What is that T-shirt?

You know what we do, and why you should join. And if you join by October 31st you get a free T-shirt! They’re the first shirts we have made as an organization, and we’re very excited about how they’ve turned out! Now we would love to see these shirts make their way through to every corner of the city, because that means you support what we do.

You may be asking…what is the meaning behind the shirts? The FREE theme explains how we feel about cycling and the free-dom that comes with it. The free transport, free entertainment - freedom. Along with that, we bring in references to the beautiful city of Minneapolis; the lakes, the endless paths and bike lanes (something we take particular pride in, represented by the dotted lines), and a general love for biking. The back ties in the values of the MBC, something we hope to share with our members, and the greater Minneapolis community.

So join today and see how the Minneapolis Bicycle Coalition can help make YOUR biking experience in YOUR city, a better, safer way to feel freedom.
