Living La Vida Auto Libre:
Looking for something do do this weekend in Minneapolis with that cargo bike of yours? Don't have a cargo bike, but just want to lend a hand to a fellow cyclist? Cool. Help a brother get out of the 'burbs by bike:

Local Activists Move Using Only Human Power
Local environmentalist, activist, and bicycle advocate Karl Stoerzinger will be moving from Inver Grove Heights to South Minneapolis Sunday, June 3rd at 10:00 a.m. - using only human power. A group of bicycle advocates and environmentalists have pledged to help Mr. Stoerzinger move all of his worldly goods over 15 miles without use of cars, trucks, or gasoline. The caravan will meet at The Hub Bicycle Co-Op in South Minneapolis, ride to Inver Grove Heights, and pile everything onto or into bicycle trailers, backpacks, messenger bags, bike racks, and panniers. Everything will then be carried, pulled, or pushed to Mr. Stoerzinger's new residence in the Corcoran neighborhood. The move is to a house of five residents, all of whom do not own cars, but rather use bicycles for daily transportation/utility.
Several local cyclists and bike shops have come forward offering use of their legs, their equipment, and their knowledge. The Hub Bicycle Co-Op and Sibley Bike Depot have donated use of their cargo trailers, and about 25 cyclists have announced that they will be in attendance.
