The Let's Roll MPS is a free, slow-paced group bicycle ride that celebrates bicycle efforts in our school district, the beauty of Minneapolis, and the joy in our connections to each other. Since 2016, we have celebrated National Bike to School Day and MPS Wellness Week with a slow-paced, group bicycle ride through the City with super star MPS school bike groups. The Stone Arch Bridge is scheduled to be closed beginning in April 2024, so expect a new route this year. In the meantime, mark your calendars for the afternoon of May 8, and stay tuned for details.
Bring your own bicycle. Wear a helmet, pump your tires, check your brakes, and remember bicyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as car drivers. All participants will sign a waiver. Students must be accompanied by a caregiver/guardian or by staff who has signed permission slips for the group.
Thank you to the 300 BIKERS who participated in the Let’s Roll MPS earlier this month in celebration of National Bike to School Day and MPS Spring Wellness Week. An enormous thank you to all the volunteers and to the stars of the show - bikers from Bethune Arts Elementary, Emerson Dual Language School, Hmong International Academy, Loring Elementary School, Lucy Craft Laney Community School, Nellie Stone Johnson Community School, Pedal Power, Pillsbury School, Transition Plus, and Whittier International Elementary School. See some photos here.
