Let's Roll MPS - Northside | May 8, 2024 

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. 

Know Before You Roll

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 all who attended the Let's Roll MPS on October 11, 2023.
