I live in West Kendall and am interesting in finding out the numbers counted in this area so if you have them, please publish them. Where can we find bicycle safety trainers to speak to groups in Miami? Please keep up the much-needed work to increase bicyle lanes and cycling safety. Great job on counting the bicyclists.

In fact, I'm surprised it doesn't plant you in the showroom of a rim-glistening Escalade dealership to normalize you. All this is in the Miami Constitution, no? /cue reggaeton anthem. But 46% for helmets. Wow, that's twice what I would have guessed -- still horribly low, but reason for some optimism. Of course the bicycle lane stops on the Miami side.
