If you're in a position to be able to donate, please consider supporting our Give to the Max Day fundraiser.

Any amount helps as we work to scale our program in 2026. Our fleet is at least 4x larger than it was in spring of 2025, requiring more $ for secure bike storage, bike insurance & repairs.
Support the Mpls Cargo Bike Library on GiveMN
Park Tool is matching all donations up to $5,000! Help BikeMN reach our $15,000 goal.

Tony & Sarah are borrowing Radio Flyer Via Pro to get to preschool & activities with these cuties aged 2 and 4.

They've seen other parents getting around by #cargobike and wanted to try it for themselves!

Wanna try too? www.waba.org/library to borrow - free!

Minneapolis is our sister city @mplscargobikelibrary.com and all our families stand together. We have one bike available for checkout if you'd like to a safe way to attend tonight's parent vigil in Sherman Circle (DC) with your kids. #bikedc #freedc

Well, would you look at that?

I wonder what this little sneak preview corner could be hinting at... 👀

E-cargo bikes sound pretty amazing in this new UK study:

"Parents’ and children’s enjoyment, curiosity, and sense of adventure encouraged additional travel, transforming routine journeys into playful and memorable family experiences."

Minneapolis Sled Library
I have previously made bike riding plans but if anyone is going to this and needs a sled I have a couple I can lend
🚨 Sled Fest is our area's premiere sledding event for adults who haven't sledded in a long time, and this year it's happening at Powderhorn Park on New Year's Day!

We care so much about @mplscargobikelibrary.com ‘s success that we chose to meet for five hours during our winter vacations to get moving on 2026 planning.

That’s dedication.

I’m so grateful to @amoridesabike.bsky.social & @cooperissuper.bsky.social for being amazing partners in this project!
Behind the scenes: this is how cargo bike libraries are made.

Our core team met for FIVE hours today to work on planning for 2026.

We have many, many exciting things in the works… including a name change to accompany our expansion plans!

Stay tuned. 👀

We supported members who:
-had never ridden a bike before
-hadn’t ridden a bike in decades
-were nervous about cargo bikes

Our members used our bikes to transport adults (some w/ mobility needs), children, dogs, groceries, garage sale finds.

They commuted, had joyrides & rode for exercise.

We learned from our pals at @communitypedalpower.org & shared what we learned with many other folks who are planning their own cargo bike libraries across the country.

We hosted @thewaroncars.bsky.social .

We earned a $50k grant from the Minneapolis Foundation to expand our program in 2026!
