VeloVeggies and Green Light Transfer: Bicycle Produce Delivery

 

Randall near the Mill City Ruins.

Randall and his VeloVeggies Delivery vehicle on the Midtown parkway.

Friend and teammate, Randall has launched a pretty unique venture here in Minneapolis.  Another friend, Dimitri has done nearly the same thing.  They both use their bicycles to deliver groceries.  It's telling that they can both make a (meager) living at this. 

Since I have lived here, Minneapolis has made great progress in making bicycle transportation easier.  We have bike lanes and bike trails all over the city.  We don't have to mix it up with motorists unless I want to--what a luxury.

I'll be using these bike lanes this Sunday when my family and I roll downtown to watch fireworks for the 4th.  Should be a good time.
