Mayor Rybak bikes along with Bike Cops for Kids

Officer Mark transporting the Mayor's bike in preparation for his "bike along" with the Bike Cops for Kids.

The Mayor realized that being a bike cop for kids is possibly the best job in Minneapolis. Here we connected with some young guys and a mentor who flagged us down.

These folks were on vacation from Winnipeg and needed help fixing a flat tire during their extensive bike tour of Minneapolis.


Above is a great picture of the Mayor adjusting the seat on Jenna's brand new bike she won for wearing her helmet.

These little girls were were teaching the Mayor how to shake hands before a job interview.

This little guy was taking some tips from his sister on how to shake hands with the Mayor of Minneapolis.

These guys were about as fun as they get. We played some football and almost got in trouble for obstructing traffic.

  1. Out of curiosity, when did you guys go out?
    I know two of those boys, I help them with their bikes, fixing flats, adjusting things, all the time. I think I might have just missed you guys coming down my block.

    Keep up the good work!
