Policy and a Pint w/ David Byrne and R.T. Rybak!

Posted at 7:44 AM on June 1, 2010 by Steve Seel (1 Comments)

As we announced this morning, our next “Policy and a Pint” is Thursday June 17th at the Uptown Theater in Minneapolis, with guests David Byrne and Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak among others. This time, its a production we’re doing in association with Nice Ride Minnesota, called “Cities, Bicycles, and the Future of Getting Around.”

David Byrne is a longtime cyclist and bicycling advocate (not to mention bike rack designer), and he’s written a new cycling memoir, The Bicycle Diaries. Mayor Rybak is a devoted cyclist as well (he’s been called “America’s Fittest Mayor”), and will surely have much to say on the topic. Our other guests: Steve Clark, manager of Transit for Liveable Communities’ Walking and Bycicling program, and Jay Walljasper, author and specialty on urban issues and sustainability.

Tickets are available at the Uptown Theater box office and also at the Minneapolis Commuter Connection, 220 6th Street South.
