Word on the Streets

Follow up to the #mplsbikestops report

Earlier in October “Bicycle Citations and Related Arrests in Minneapolis, 2009-2015,” a report researched and compiled by Minneapolis Bicycle Coalition volunteers, was published. We hosted a report release event, and it generated a lot of meaningful conversation. We were able to hold a follow up event this week, to start the process of understanding how bicycle advocacy interacts with law enforcement, and how we can focus our advocacy to make biking and walking safer for all.

We were happy to host a room of engaged folks who showed up to offer their experiences and knowledge of enforcement.
