Introducing our 2019 Bicycle Connectors!
Join us in celebrating our 2019 Bicycle Connectors partners! Bicycle Connectors is an Our Streets Minneapolis initiative led by Cindy Vue, our Bicycle Encouragement and Volunteer Coordinator. Through Bicycle Connectors, we partner with local groups to use bicycling as a vehicle to connect and empower folks who are Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and/or people of color who are femme, trans, women, and/or non-binary.
We're thrilled to welcome both new and returning partners in the second year of Bicycle Connectors. Each partner organization will provide unique support to folks in their community who are interested in biking for transportation.

The Bicycle Connector program at Our Streets Minneapolis is an initiative where we partner with local organizations to help folks who belong to underrepresented communities overcome barriers to biking. We do this because we know the streets in our city aren't spaces that are comfortable for everyone. Different communities have different barriers to biking. And we know folks who are already working in a community are the best ones to help their peers overcome those barriers.
