Bike Miami Days
Miami pulled off their first ciclovia, and we heard they were going monthly, but now we have more evidence to suggest the Mayor will follow-through on that commitment.
It’s incredible, really. Monthly ciclovias. Just like that.
And in Miami, of all places — so car-choked as to look almost helpless against the onslaught of motor traffic. And they’re doing it – taking back the city.
Miami is sun-drenched, has good population density, and is currently the 43rd-ranked city in population size in the U.S. Miami has the potential to become a great bicycle town.
Thank you for the shout out! Here in Miami, we are really excited about Bike Miami Days. If it can happen here, it can happen anywhere! It takes a lot of work, but ‘if you build it, they will come’. I hope that those who read this will be inspired to make it happen in their hometowns and cities!
1When I was bicycling in Miami to the Keys, the bicycle paths were nice except for glass. This may be better now that it was in 1996 & 1999.
