“The City of Miami just painted the first part of our region’s newest bike lane so the South Florida Bike Coalition is throwing a party! Join us this Saturday, 9/25 at 5pm sharp at Sra. Martinez (4000 NE 2nd Ave) in the Design District as we toast the new lanes!” – SFBC

Spotted a sharrow on SW 97th Avenue just north of Bird Rd (40th St). The county chose an ideal location to remind motorists to share the road since the existing bike lane ends there. Their next step should be educating motorists on what a sharrow is and utilizing them throughout the county. I think we can all agree South Florida drivers need a repeated reminder to share the road.

“The Coral Gables Tweed Ride this past winter featured over 100 stylish people on cool bikes who took to the streets decked out in vintage and Edwardian attire. Next month, the Coral Gables Museum and the Green Mobility Network are teaming up to present an event tailored to the warmer weather of early autumn.

The Seersucker Social, scheduled for Saturday October 16, is set to offer the same delightful kind of unique and alternative entertainment experience by encouraging folks once again to mount their bicycles in high style. Participants will gather at the University Metrorail Station on Ponce de Leon Boulevard at 10:30am and bicycle through the Gables, with a stop and tour at the Coral Gables Museum, and then gather at the historic Coral Gables Merrick House for a picnic, badminton and croquet. The catered lunch featuring fabulous food from the Green Gables Cafe is $14 per person. You can still join in the fun and ride without purchasing the picnic lunch.”

For more details, and to purchase/reserve your picnic lunch, please visit coralgablesmuseum.org or greenmobilitynetwork.org.”
