In the aftermath of the police riot in Dinkytown last weekend, a dozen people were arrested, one house is being evicted, and scores more are suffering the after-effects of injuries inflicted by police.  The University is setting up a website asking students to turn snitch, and the police and corporate media are - just like after the RNC - acting as if minor property damage justifies as full-on violent police attack of our neighbors and friends.

Federal Funding Brings Bike Sharing to Twin Cities

Six biking and walking projects will receive more than $4 million in grants from Bike Walk Twin Cities, a federally-funded program to increase biking and walking and decrease driving in the metro area. 

One of the projects is the Minneapolis Bike Share Program, which received a $1.75 million grant, will be run by Nice Ride Minnesota, a nonprofit organization. The program will place 1000 bikes at 75 security kiosks throughout Minneapolis.

Bike Share riders will have the option of purchasing a season pass for about $50, and may check out a bike at any time and return it to a self-service kiosk of their choice. The first 30 minutes are free and additional time is available for a small fee. In addition, day passes are available. In Minneapolis, the program will run from April through November. The Bike Share Program is expected to be operational by summer 2010.
