On my cycle ride: northeast Minneapolis industrial profiles.

Explored North Minneapolis by bicycle using a map I’d plotted showing points of interest. This building became an orphanage in January 1919. Some of the first children to stay here had lost both parents in the ‘flu pandemic.

Cycled on a rail trail beside the Cannon River, south of the Twin Cities.

I like to pause at this wall when I’m out for a cycle ride. For all the modifications over the years, it conveys a sense orderliness and stability. Like an abstract painting of geometric shapes, I find it calming. The Minneapolis Water Department still operates out of this site.

Locked up our bikes, sipped cappuccinos, looked out at Lake Harriet framed by the back wall of the bandshell stage.

Water spilled down a glass wall across a silent Minneapolis street. I’d failed to notice this in normal times; now I hear it each time I cycle by.

Installed our battered old Thule.

Cycled under vintage rail cars.
