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 [...]

The Miami Bicycle Master Plan, crafted after a lot of research by Mike Lydon of The Streets Plans Collaborative (and whom we saw sporting a cool bicycling shirt back in August), went before the City Commission and was unanimously approved.
