Despite the threatening clouds, bikers and walkers filled Lyndale Ave for 20 blocks on Sunday, June 12 from 10m to 2pm. Minneapolis is already asking, "when is the next event?"
Lyndale Ave was blocked off from 22nd to 42nd Streets for people to run, bike, skate or walk for the first annual Open Streets Event or also referred to as ciclovia which translates to "bike path" in Spanish. This free, fun, family and pet friendly event allowed people young and old to take to the streets while engaging with other residents and businesses. On the corner of 41st Street, East Harriet Farmstead Neighborhood Association's Community Building Committee provided supplies for kids to decorate their bikes. This was followed by a bike parade and a blessing of the bikes ceremony performed by Rev Beth Warpmaeker of Bethlehem Lutheran Church. The kids dismounted their bikes long enough to create chalk art in the streets and have their face painted while enjoying some refreshments. This turned out to be a fun event for all. Other highlights along the route included a train of interconnected recumbent trikes, a full musical ban on a bike and a few hundred people doing yoga! A big thank you to the Minneapolis Bicycle Coalition for organizing this big event and making it happen! To view more photos, highlights and comments, visit the Open Streets website and facebook.
