The driver of the car was under the influence and after hitting Lecanne, dragged his mangled bike for about 4 miles before it became dislodged from under [...]

[Copenhagenize Miami] Definitions: Miamize

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 [...]

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. Not only has it spawned a spin-off, Copenhagen [...]

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.

Consider this as a PSA of sorts.
I was reading my new favorite webcomic (a post about it later this week) and came across this strip.

As we stand on the threshold of autumn (for whatever that is worth in Miami), and with it a new season of Bike Miami Days, I can’t help but be excited. What started as a one-day event back in November 2008 has exploded into a whole entity, now with seven all-day ciclovías under its belt, [...]
Bike Miami Days 2.0

The sophomore instance of Bike Miami Days (the first with the new name) is over and we had an absolutely great time. The weather was once again cooperating with us riders, holding at a cool level, looking like it might rain but never a drop falling from the sky, with gusty winds blowing in from [...]
