Things have been very quiet here at Slow Bike Miami for some time now due to me being busy having started a new college degree. Summer has arrived, though, so it’s time to get on the bike and ride to our heart’s content.
Slow Bike Miami will be re-starting with semi-regular posts as of next week. [...]

Update & New Bike

Rumors of me giving up my bike are greatly exaggerated.
I’m around, but my first semester back in university has been very busy. On top of that, having had my bike stolen left me grounded for a few weeks, though that isn’t the case anymore. However, I have realized that I need to reduce [...]
Elam Stolen

This morning, when I left the house and passed by where I park my bike, I realized that it wasn’t there: Elam was stolen overnight.
You can read the fuller account of the event at my personal blog.
Needless to say, I am angry and sad. I barely had four months with my bike and I had [...]

Yesterday morning I took the scenic route back home from the synagogue, going down all of Lincoln Road Mall, to the Oceanwalk Promenade, then up 5th St before heading home (see the MapMyRide.com Map). On a whim, I decided to count all the bikes I came across my way, whether parked or with riders. Everyone [...]
Hipsters vs Hasids: A Commentary
December 9th, 2009

A news article from New York was heavily making its way across the cycling blog/Twitter-verse yesterday, about some New York City bicyclists that repainted some bike lanes in Brooklyn. I vaguely registered the news item on my radar, but did not take a moment to read it until a friend of mine sent it to [...]
[Copenhagenize Miami] Definitions: Miamize
December 2nd, 2009

In saying that I seek to “Copenhagenize” Miami, what exactly does that mean? Copenhagen and Miami are very dissimilar cities, so how can one influence the other? And what is this “Bicycle Culture 2.0″ that I speak of? Think of them as keywords that convey in a tight package a lot of information about the [...]
