West St. Paul Rider 2022: New Postcard

For this year’s West St. Paul Rider community bike ride, we commissioned local West St. Paul artist Carolyn Swiszcz to create a new postcard. This is the sixth postcard we’ve commissioned to highlight West St. Paul, featuring the work of local artists.

We sent copies to all our members and attendees of last year’s bike ride. If you’d like a postcard, come see us at an event this summer (next up? WSP Pride). You can also purchase prints from our Etsy store.
