"In the coming days, the Frostbike events team will be reaching out to exhibitors to provide guidance on logistics related to the cancellation of the event. This decision did not come easy, and it was not the one we wanted to make, but we recognize if the current enforcement activities make it unsafe for some of our attendees to travel to the Twin Cities, then the event is not safe for all attendees."
"The theme of Frostbike 2026 is Take the Lane, and we encourage each of you to be proactive and Take the Lane for your business, your community, and yourself. There's no better example of the power of our industry taking the lane together than last Saturday's memorial ride honoring Alex Pretti, who was fatally shot in Minneapolis by Department of Homeland Security agents on January 24."
QBP canceled Frostbike 2026 due to ongoing federal immigration enforcement activity in and around Minneapolis that created potentially unsafe conditions for some attendees. QBP monitored the Minneapolis metro area for six weeks and determined that meaningful de-escalation was unlikely. The Frostbike events team will reach out to exhibitors to provide guidance on logistics related to cancellation. The event theme, Take the Lane, urges businesses, communities, and individuals to be proactive. Memorial rides honoring Alex Pretti, who was fatally shot in Minneapolis by Department of Homeland Security agents on January 24, included more than 250 officially scheduled rides across 14 countries and 43 states.
