Bike Miami Days - Sunday May 17th
Hello Friends!
Thanks to those of you who joined us for April’s Bike Miami Day! The event was spectacular and would not have been nearly as remarkable without your help! We had a ginormous turnout! Nothing could be more inspiring for bicycle advocates in Miami than to see a sea of orange-clad riders literally filling the streets of Coconut Grove!
The response was inspiring, with an increase in volunteer registry, evoked interest among bicycle enthusiasts, and major love from the Dutch Consulate- bonus love for those of you who nabbed tasty snacks from the Dutch Treats desert cart!
Now then, those of you who are interested in getting involved for the next Bike Miami Day, mark your calendar! We’re headed Downtown again, for Sunday, May 17! This will be the last BMD of the season involving street closures and sidewalk chalk and all of our standard excitements. I’ll keep you posted over the summer regarding organized rides and community service opportunities, but we won’t be closing the streets again until after the summer! So if you are a frequent participant, or if you have been meaning to join but haven’t had the chance, SAVE THE DATE! See below for the details on the ride, and be certain to spread the word to everyone!
Contact me if you are interested in participating, and I will be certain to send updates as they develop!
Thanks again for your help with BMD! You are all awesome!
