@ianrbuck@mspsocial.net in all the stuff I've done with streets.mn this is still one feels like the most impactful in terms of direct action I've seen it have on bringing more people to contributing OSM. Makes me feel very special!
If it holds cargo and is a #bike, is it a #cargobike ? I think so!
Make sure you travel when you can solely for doing #openstreetmap mapping

Having used a #cargobike to take my wife out bowling with friends I can personally say they are a ton of fun!

Going Statewide With The Minnesota Cargo Bike Library!: https://streets.mn/2026/07/06/going-statewide-with-the-minnesota-cargo-bike-library/
Now known as the Minnesota Cargo Bike Library, let's check in with Laura Mitchell about what's new this year!
Open quoted postI was thinking on my blue line ride this morning that I don't want self driving cars, I want the community that #transit gives. I want conversations that start on the #bus or #train. And then right after I had that thought, someone sitting behind me started going on about... Well all sorts of stuff. The bus being slow, Minnesota's governor being corrupt with his mountain dew drinking, construction being evidence of fraud. So I guess I got part of my wish.
My #blog is back up and running! Intending to be posting more frequently and with smaller, easier posts with occasional deeper dives.

@kbarker@social.vivaldi.net good food always makes long rides a joy. Planning on taking my partner on their first bikepacking trip, and a big pull of it is that halfway to our destination is a burrito place.

With the #wildfire smoke here in #Minneapolis really bringing me into a depressive state, can anyone offer me any hope or encouragement to keep my head up? It feels really bleak and I wish there was something I can do, or at least something I can look forward to for a chance of things getting better.

@oac@fosstodon.org I was lucky enough that the default clips fit just fine on the back rack. I did have the hook part on one of the breaks when I was hit by a cop and had a friend 3d print some replacements, so maybe that could work for you?

@protonprivacy@mastodon.social AI is not inevitable, no one is requiring you to implement it. But if you are going to add it, environmental sustainability is equal in importance to data privacy.

@davidzipper@mastodon.social as someone who's currently a PhD candidate studying data privacy and cyber security in transit, this is very interesting!
