NYC Favorites (So far...)

Mat

Alex and I met Mat tonight after Alex's lesson at MacPhail. Visit BicycleLaneIndustries.com for more info. We loved the bike and were hoping we'd meet its owner. Turns out he is also the creator. I'm inspired.

Bike Mosaics

These are nearly-complete mosaics that are ready for finishing and installing. Ideas include working with consulting from Mosaic-on-a-Stick, the Edina Art Center, the Bike Edina Task Force, and the City of Edina to complete and install these, perhaps in the Promenade area and other places in Edina where residents can enjoy these.

The mosaic project was started with the Community Design Group while beginning work with residents at open houses/public gatherings at events at City Hall and at the 2007 Bike Rodeo sponsored by Catherine Elliot for her Girls Scouts Gold Award project.

There are approximately 6 - 10 mosaics ready for finishing.

Edina to Greenway May 2009

Thanks to Marsha B. from Edina Community Ed, Hiawatha Bicycle Club, Bike Edina Task Force, and all the 17 riders...we enjoyed a great trip from Edina City Hall to the Midtown Greenway. This is a trip we may like to repeat at least yearly.

My favorite part of the event was hearing comments from some riders that live in Edina yet had never found a good route to get out to the Greenway, which is nicely accessible and not too far from Edina.

Don's Party

I wish I had my better camera and that I took better pictures. But here is what was available! Fun party even though I lost at foosball and got partway through the table tennis tounament, losing to Don 23-25 or something like that. Close game! Alex enjoyed Bourne Identity and all the great food.
