Two Awesome Bicycle T-Shirts

This last weekend I came across two fantastic bicycle-themed T-shirts that deserve to be shared.

The first one was spotted at BikeTown Miami, on Thursday 8/27. Worn by Mike Lydon (of Transit Miami and part of the group driving the Miami Bicycle Master Plan), it boldly states what every cyclist in Miami is thinking: MORE BIKE [...]

We’re Now SlowBikeMiami.com

Short, sweet and to the point: we have a new URL – www.SlowBikeMiami.com
The truth is we bike all around Miami, even if we live in Miami Beach, so it makes sense to expand our scope to the entity that is Miami (including all the cities). The new URL should make it easy for people to [...]

Back on the Bike

Due to dealing with family issues that had me spending a lot of time in Puerto Rico, I’ve not been on the bike almost at all this year (attending the last Bike Miami Days in May being the big exception). That changes today.
I’m heading out now to Bayfront Park in Downtown Miami to attend BikeTown [...]

Slow Bike: The Next Generation

My 3-year-old nephew came to stay with us for a week, and my wife got him a proper bike. We saw his “bike” at home in Orlando, an old tricycle he got when he turned 2, and it was just not working for him; his legs are now too long, so he couldn’t pedal well, [...]

January Bike Miami Days & A Year Later in Miami Cycling

As being reported on cycling blogs all over the Miami area, Bike Miami Days has set its date for the third event.
Mark your calendars for Sunday, January 18, 2009 for Bike Miami Days 3 (Tokyo Drift or The Search for Spock, you pick).

Cycling Article on The Biscayne Times

A few weeks ago I got an email from Jim W. Harper, columnist for Biscayne Times (Harper’s Environment), with a request for an interview about bicycling in Miami. I happily agreed and a couple of emails later it was all done. The current edition of the Biscayne Times has the article that includes part of [...]

Back from Seattle

I just got back from a 10-day trip to Seattle, land of many hills and even more bikes. Seriously, people talk about Portland as a mecca for cyclists, but Seattle doesn’t stay far behind. At any time of the day one can see cyclists going about their business all over the city and outlying areas, [...]

Bicycle Menorah

We got this at Wal-Mart. I am so ready for Channukah!

I’m a Metblogger for Miami

I have joined Metblogs, a network of city-focused blogs for a number of metropolitan areas around the world. My friend Patricia is a contributor for the Seattle Metblogs and that kinda gave me the impetus to do the same in my own city. Given how the Miami Metblogs was downright suffering for lack of content [...]
