Our regularly scheduled bi-weekly newsletter is a week late since I was spending some time swimming & biking in Copenhagen, one of the best cities in the world for biking, and it has since inspired me to upgrade my bike soon, more on that later… 🚲
My week back in Minneapolis was spent getting ready to speak on the importance of inclusive transportation and mobility justice at the Minnesota State Fair, one of the best and biggest state fairs in the country, at their Eco Experience Building. If you’re interested in checking out the presentation I shared, be sure to click here.
Speaking of Minneapolis, my heart goes out to the families and children affected by the tragic event this week. It’s been a heavy and dark week here, but seeing the community come together is powerful. If you would like to help in any way, please check out this post by Axios Twin Cities. For a more direct call to action, check out this GoFundMe page by the Moyski family. 🫂
