Welcome to the

Minnesota Cargo Bike Library

About

The MN Cargo Bike Library is a community-run program through the Bicycle Alliance of Minnesota (BikeMN), made possible through partnerships with Cyclehoop, the Lyndale Neighborhood Association and a grant from the Minneapolis Foundation.

Our goal is to ensure Minnesota residents have the knowledge, skills and resources to safely and confidently replace car trips.

We have a small fleet of electric cargo bikes that members can borrow FREE for a week. Prior to borrowing a bike, each member participates in our one-hour orientations, focused on bike safety and tips for riding, maintaining and securing e cargo bikes.

How It Works

  1. Attend an in-person orientation (must be a Minneapolis resident and 18yo+)
  2. Get access to our booking platform and book a bike.
  3. Keep the bike for 5 days for FREE! (Thursday 6-7pm pick up, return any time the following Tuesday)
