Look. It’s not a bad idea, but kinda weird to just put it on the back of a bus.

Dance party earlier in the ride:

#Schwinning at the MoveMN/Joyful Riders DJ ride. (Not pictured: the dance party happening behind me.)

Ellie’s Schwinn Crosscut bike is leaning against a railing at night. There are LED string lights on the frame. Behind it, the lights of downtown St. Paul reflect in the Mississippi River. The underside of the High Bridge is visible at the top of the frame.

Specifically, the attitude of “grilling season is over again I say it’s over!”

Grill Dad is an attitude, not a gender.

Well, you see, the underpants gnomes weren’t throwing billions of dollars at the problem.

It is covered, it is not spacious or fancy, but is very much a case of “location, location, location” cuz it’s *right* on the river. The building is an old grain elevator for loading barges.

As far as I’m concerned, City House has the best patio seating in the city.

Just get a BMX bike and do sick tricks on the way home.

(My knees disagree with this idea.)

As others have pointed out, many, if not most, current phones are waterproof. One caveat is that if your phone has been serviced (new screen, battery, etc) then the waterproofing may be compromised.

And here I'd always heard it as "media men".

Can y’all please be on the lookout for my bike? Last seen in Elliot Park. It is a black Biria bike with red pedals and stickers of local news orgs on the bottom tube. It also has a Brooks saddle and adapters for Wolf Tooth pogies on the handlebars.

Biria bike with a sign that says “300 Campground”

Sussie Bird Necklace
Soft satin cord if chains are too much of an over-stimulation ♥

Photo of a polymer clay charm on a black satin necklace cord curled up partially. The charm is that of Sussie bird from K Pop Demon Hunters.
