#mspcyclecast Shepard Rd / Sam Morgan is inadvisable
Go across mainland St Paul if possible. Rapidly freezing mixed slush/compacted snow conditions, quickly worsening with dropping temps.

If you want to know how not to do graffiti, read this article lol. This is what you do when you're 12 years old. 🤦♀️ Leave your blackbook at home when painting and catch some real tags so people have heard of you before doing an article about your toy pieces and chase story at a chill daytime spot. 😂
Icandy sat in the brush, heart pounding.
He didn’t have time to think when he saw the Minneapolis Park Patrol officer fighting his way through bushes and trees down the steep hill to under the bridge on Burnham Road. He just grabbed his paint-stained, half-open backpack and ran.

They’re on Probation for Graffiti. That Hasn’t Stopped Them From Painting. - Racket
Even after a harrowing trip to the Hennepin County Jail 2 years ago, these best friends keep painting—and pushing their luck.

MPD raided the local trap house near lake and 17th, including swat truck, ~8 cruisers, few unmarked, and a paddy wagon. Neighbors on it right away, but many copwatch folks arrived within 15 min. Did good job filming, badge numbers, essentially ensuring no feds/ICE. I'm convinced this was 100% MPD.

Need to send a robot bicycle up and down the Jackson/10th separated bike lanes in downtown St Paul that continually gets creamed by all the cars pulling out of parking garages without looking or turning across the path without yielding. They should explode just large enough to total your car.

I'm simultaneously like "biking to work is easy and nice and everyone should do it" and "wow I only made it to work ok from years of bike messenger and alley cat skillz - if I didn't get super cutty five times I would have been a pancake".
"Claire Thefaine agreed about feeling unsafe on a bike...
“I have not had a single day without an incident that has left me shaken up. It can be grating to hear the people around me discussing standstill traffic on their commute when I fear for my safety and life every day on mine.”

Detours to nowhere, bicyclist close calls: reports from a tough summer for commuters
The Minnesota Star Tribune asked readers to talk about their worst commutes amid all the road construction. Here is a sampling of what they said.

Bikes are generally very resilient to road construction / closures but good lord getting out of downtown Saint Paul is a chore.

Every major N-S street you encounter in St Paul is prioritized so cars can get to the highway. Can't find a single good E-W road where I don't get a minute long red light at every single intersection. 🙄

Need Mythbusters to figure out if cycling to work fast/effortful or slow/chill in AQI 230 is worse.

Twin Cities drivers currently feel *especially* oppressed, saying the war on cars has ramped up because it temporarily takes 35 minutes instead of 20 to drive across the most dense part of the largest metro area in a 400 mile radius (and might have to park 500 ft from their end location).

Started thinking about the state of the nation during the school drop-off drive, forgot where I was going, almost ran a red light and got completely lost. It's a 3-minute drive. So, just a word of warning: for vehicular safety, do not itemize your shitlist while driving.

Decided to see what taking the bus (21) was like today, going from Powderhorn to DT St Paul, which is a 35 minute bike ride on a bad day (8 mi). Morning bus was on time and took 55min, so 62min w/ walk n wait. Evening ride was a 25min wait (wtf) and took 1hr 16min (wtf), so 2hr 45min total. (1/3)
