Wedge

Someone recently described the Wedge as "an organic jewel surrounded by skyscrapers.” That's us - a major attraction to our South Minneapolis neighborhood since 1974. Our 15,000 owners help us rock the real food out every day. Whether your pleasure is organic, local, fair trade, raw or ready-made, we'll take care of you. Enjoy our benches and picnic table when you stop for refueling during a ride. We have bike racks galore and even a new vending machine filled with tools and a stand for simple bike repairs. Everyone is welcome every day at the Wedge. Not a member? Not a problem.

One On One Bikes

The bike studio is up and running, has been for over a year now. We just did not tell anybody. We were too busy. Riding, and such.

The bike junkyard has been in place for about 10 years. It was started by the Satanic Mechanic and myself. If it (the bike) was made in the last 40 years we probably have it. But you have to go down there and find it.

We are the third generation of culture to inhabit the space. During the 1970′s a bunch of artists moved in. In the 1980′s some musicians and film people moved in that knew the artists. 1990′s a biker, that knew the musicians and film people, that knew the artists, moved in. The stage was set. The 90′s were a whirlwind of biker, music, film and art in the hood.
