The group was young. I estimate that most participants were in their early twenties. But there were also adults riding scooters with their young children. The group was racially diverse, and very welcoming. Many riders were waving encouraging cyclists on cross-streets to join in the fun.

I spoke with several participants. While the group didn't even agree on the name of the event, one rider indicated it was called "Lime Amigos." There was no clear leader, nor a clear indication of who organized the event, but the people I spoke with learned about it from unspecified accounts social media. A flyer found after-the-fact titled the event a "Scooter Takeover" and used hashtags #LiveLaughLime and #soberfun. When I crossed paths with this event, it was reminiscent of a Critical Mass-style bike protest, but the people I spoke with had never heard of Critical Mass, nor did they describe the event as a protest. The only theme I can discern is the clean, simple simple fun of riding through Minneapolis on bikes, scooters, skateboards, roller-blades, and even a motorcycle. 🧵 5/?
