The MN Cargo Bike Library is a community-run program made possible through partnerships with @bikemn.bsky.social, @cyclehoop.bsky.social, the Lyndale Neighborhood Association and a grant from the Minneapolis Foundation.

Also, this borrower returned the bike just as an electrician was arriving to our house to give us a quote.

The electrician thought the borrower was the homeowner & started chatting as he walked up to our house, which turned into the borrower spreading the good word of the @mcbl.bike + cargo bikes.😆

I get asked this about my ebike all the time.

When people ask something else about my bike & I tell them about @mcbl.bike I regularly get, "oh, that's through the city, then?" No. It's a grassroots nonprofit. Totally it's own entity. Still free & available to residents of the city.

Did you know our program is run by volunteers?

Do YOU want to become a volunteer?

We have lots of ways for folks to join in, whether you want to help every week or occasionally.

An extra big thank you to our amazing bike librarian volunteers who made our participation possible! @take-a-chance.bsky.social @acolibri.bsky.social

Three people ride cargo bikes down the street. The closest cargo bike is hauling a pop-up tentThree bikes are parked close together under a tent. One is a cargo bike, one is a Dutch style bike, and the other is a folding bike

Thank you to everyone who joined us at Open Streets Nicollet this past weekend! We helped 30 folks test ride bikes (even in the rain!) and had great convos with everyone who stopped by the table to ask questions or share how much their love their cargo bikes.

5 people are gathered around a table with a tent overhead talking about cargo bikes Two people learn about cargo bikes from a volunteer in preparation to take them for test rides in the rain

Post Borrow Survey: "We’ve talked about a #cargobike for years. The library is why we took the plunge. Getting to experience days by bike with our toddler was eye opening. Appreciate trying multiple types. We are so confident about our decision and investment." #bikedc 🥰🥰🥰

I DON’T WANT TO RETURN IT

Thanks to @mcbl.bike for lending me the Urban Arrow! If you’re curious about getting a cargo bike and you live in Minneapolis, look for orientations next year! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!
