Flanders Cycle boarded up, Minneapolis Police car passes

Flanders Cycle, a bicycle shop established in 1973, is boarded up with plywood on Lyndale Avenue in Minneapolis. The plywood covering is a common measure taken by businesses during periods of civil unrest. A Minneapolis Police Department vehicle passes the storefront at night, reflecting the heightened tensions in the city following the murder of George Floyd in May 2020. The "BLM" graffiti visible on the plywood further signifies the context of the Minneapolis Uprising.
