About

The Minneapolis Cargo Bike Library is a community-run program through the Bicycle Alliance of Minnesota (BikeMN), made possible through partnerships with Cyclehoop and the Lyndale Neighborhood Association. We receive some funding from the Met Council.

Our goal is to ensure Minneapolis 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.
  2. Get access to our booking platform and book a bike.
  3. Keep the bike for 5 days for FREE!
