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 [...]

We just finished moving and I am currently without internet service, at least until next week. If you follow me on Twitter at @Highmoon then you’ll hear from me more regularly. If not, I’ll be back once AT&T does their thing.
Help Me To Copenhagenize Miami

I’ve already mentioned that one of my favorite bicycling blogs is Copenhagenize.com by Mikael Colville-Andersen. Do a Google search for “bicycle blog” and you’ll see it right on the first page, which is how my wife and I found it when we first started getting into bikes.

Since my post last week on Critical Mass, I’ve spent all my time addressing comments and none writing new posts. It’s been great, because I believe we’ve had a good and civil conversation, something that definitely needs to happen often, but it’s also been very draining at times. Couple that with a move to a [...]
On Critical Mass

The Miami Herald published in both online and print form an article on Miami’s Critical Mass this past weekend. The writer, Andres Viglucci, rode with the group on at least one ride, probably a couple more, and used his first-hand experience to give us an article that describes the group. It is a good article, [...]
Slow Bike Miami Endorses Gabrielle Redfern for Miami Beach Commissioner
October 30th, 2009
No Comments
Back in June Gabrielle Redfern contacted me via this blog to perhaps meet up. She said her roots were in bicycling advocacy and wanted to chat about that and the City of Miami Beach. At the time I was in Puerto Rico and could not meet with her, especially as the electoral race in the [...]

Yesterday I attended my first Miami Beach Bikeways Committee meeting at City Hall (I also learned where Miami Beach City Hall is, after 7 years living here). I learned about the committee earlier this month from some of the Bike Miami volunteers and later from the owner of Miami Beach Bicycle Center, where I purchased [...]

The Miami Book Fair International is coming to Downtown Miami on November 8-15 (street fair Nov. 13-15), and as always, we are planning to visit. Last year we jumped on our bikes and rode all the way Downtown, just as we had done already for Bike Miami Days a week prior, and precisely what we’re [...]
