Bicycle Connectors Posts

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. 

In 2018 Our Streets Minneapolis launched the Bicycle Connectors program, a new initiative to encourage more black women, indigenous women, and women of color to bike for transportation. Cindy Vue, our Bicycle Encouragement and Volunteer Coordinator, partnered with six local organizations serving black women, indigenous women, and women of color in Minneapolis.

Each organization received support from Our Streets Minneapolis to create their own unique program to encourage more of the women they serve to bike for transportation. Funding for the Bicycle Connectors program is provided through travel demand management funds awarded by the Metropolitan Council and administered by Metro Transit.

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.
