Bike Miami Summit - Monday, June 15th

On Monday, June 15th, the City of Miami invites you to the first Miami Bike Summit at Jose Marti Community Center to discuss Miami’s Bicycle Master Plan. Meet city leaders, planners, cyclists and neighbors and learn about some of the ways Miami is becoming a more bicycle-friendly city.

From 6pm-9pm, learn about Sharrows, the benefits of bicycle parking, and what a central bicycle facility might mean for the City of Miami. To get a better idea of what the City is already doing, you can read the Bicycle Action Plan or email the Bicycle Coordinator, Collin Worth at cworth@miamigov.com

SAVE THE DATE:

Monday, June 15th.
6:00-9:00pm

There will be maps of the city and markers so you can mark exactly where you think our city needs bike lanes, parking, signage… Note: this is the first of two public meetings that will take place to help guide the development of Miami’s Bicycle Master Plan.

Below are links to the first episode of “Southern Tier”, a documentary by two cross-country bicyclists. Check it out for roadway adventure, a journey across America, and a series of perspectives on environmental activism and awareness. They rode from Long Beach, California to Key West, Florida, with a brief stop in Miami. Stay tuned for future episodes to see their take on the 305 (and 786!).

Below is the info on Episode One- stay posted for more episodes over the next few months.
