This is unlikely to happen now, as I’ve just been too busy with university to do any work, but the idea remains.

You realize the Sisyphus struggle you are getting into trying to get a small semblance of Bike culture down here? lol!

I’m a member of FBA and decided this year to do some Pro-Bono artwork for their periodical in an effort to get their staff to write better articles catering towards a more youthful audience. Idk, whats gonna happen but I’d like it to be something that if you picked it up at a bus seat or on metro-rail, would pique your interest to read the next article.
I even tried motivating (maybe successfully) by showing them Sec of Transp Ray LaHood’s (R) speach at the Nat’l Bike Summit.
As I said. idk.

It will be a Herculean effort (especially anywhere west of Galloway Rd) but you gotta try!

Thanks a lot, Mikael. Feel free to comment on any of the other Copenhagenize Miami posts if something could be made clearer.

You’re amazing! It’s great to watch your advocacy in action. And I’m willing and waiting in the wings. Cheers.

Hi, Rebecca. Do you know any organization in Orlando? I’ve been trying to find a BikeOrlando or something to that effect but no luck.

If you know anyone in Palm Beach I could talk to about helping out with bringing Mikael for lectures, do let me know. I think it would be great to expand a Copenhagenize Florida visit.

I’d love to see Mikael in Miami! You might want to reach out to Orlando as well, it seems there is some bike love there.

I live in Boca, where my husband often bike-commutes, and we’ve had good response from city officials when writing to them about bike lanes, etc. I bet somewhere in Palm Beach County would benefit from his appearance (and pay for it) as well.
