Encouragement, Classes & Events

There are many ways to learn more about biking in Minneapolis and to get involved in the city's vibrant bicycle culture. Throughout the year, bicyclists, neighborhood groups and advocacy organizations coordinate events ranging from children's fun rides to film festivals and alleycat races. You can find information about these groups on our Related Links page.
The City of Minneapolis and our partners teach a variety of classes to encourage bicycling. The City's Bike Walk Ambassador Program offers rides, maintenance classes, youth events and events geared toward senior cyclists. Our goal is to get you rolling, build your bike moxie, and help you enjoy Minneapolis' great bicycling opportunities. Click here for current classes. You can also call 612-333-3410 or email bikewalk@minneapolismn.gov for more information.
Maintenance classes are offered at many local bike shops, and advocacy organizations like the Bicycle Alliance of Minnesota, Sibley Bike Depot and Venture North Bike Walk & Coffee frequently offer classes in Minneapolis and the metro area.
