Coffee (Outside) this week is going back to Boom Island. I didn’t plan this well (or at all), but this is an opportunity we can’t miss. So…
Boom Island is hosting Beyond Walls (until it fades away), an absolutely ginormous land-mural/fresco from and a small team of globe travelers.
Join us for Coffee (Outside) Sunday at 10am to see what we can see (honestly, it’s not much). But it is a happening. And it is an important project that we are more than happy to promote. With the planet as a canvas, Saype is creating a metaphorical chain of clasped hands across the entire world. Minneapolis is only the 21st destination for one of these ephemeral frescoes (created with eco-friendly materials) and the first North American site.
PHOTO 1: Saype’s piece stretches across the grass behind Patrick and his Nishiki Modulus. But what you’re really looking at is a Dura-Ace track hub, a component Patrick has been riding for 3 decades. This bike, and several others over the years, has been built around the hub. All of Patrick’s bikes are quirky (to match their rider), and this is no exception.
Patrick has the longest commute of anyone at the shop and today he chose to ride in on a two-speed, one of the more rare builds in the world because a two-speed tends to have all of the derailleurs but very little of the functionality. But the Dura-Ace hub makes it worth it.
Patrick has more mechanic experience than most bike shops and has been in shops all over town. He’s built more of this year’s bike fleet than anyone else. We’re lucky to have him and grateful that he has chosen to settle at Recovery Bike Shop.
As always, everyone is welcome at Coffee (Outside).
Free community yoga at the bike shop at 9am with .
And our weekly ride to put a presence out on the streets of Northeast starts after Coffee (Outside) around 11am.
“This is what community looks like!”
