Join us on April 22 for Navigating Upstream, a gathering and fundraiser focused on the future of Minnesota’s natural places. Your support helps power this work, bringing Minnesotans together, building community, and inspiring stewardship for Minnesota’s land, water, and air.
I sometimes like to combine bike riding with bus riding if I want to have my bike with me or want a lift back up a large hill. This may seem intimidating at first, but it is very easy to put a bike on the front rack of a bus!
If you live in a rural community like I did, you probably don’t have the same public transportation infrastructure as cities like bike lanes and buses. Advocating for safe bike infrastructure, like bike lanes, safe crossings, and bike-friendly neighborhood streets, is a great way to increase bike ridership in your town.
I think bringing other people to the outdoors, especially those who haven’t experiences the outdoors in the same way, helps to inspire more people to care for our natural spaces.
