During the RNC, anyone visiting or living in the Twin Cities can get a free bike to ride from 7am-7pm though Thursday. (Just bring a driver’s license and credit card.) Freewheelin’ is made possible by Humana and Bikes Belong. Bikes Belong has recruited hundreds of volunteers to make this service available. Dero Bike Rack Company has donated staff-time to help with bike maintenance, lead bike tours, and help run some of the Freewheelin’ stations in Minneapolis.
Even if you have a bike already, please come check out a Freewheelin’ Bike. To help the
