Moving Together, Faster
Unscientific Transit Miami research says “yes”. On my morning ride today, I decided to count cyclists and cars during 5 minute periods. If you may recall, I shot a five minute video a few weeks ago and I counted about 180 cyclists. Here are the results of today’s handle bar research:
Number of Bikes [...]
Busted!
Some cyclists just don’t seem to get it. Why do some continue to run red lights in Key Biscayne; especially the Crandon Boulevard and Harbour Drive intersection which is extremely dangerous?
Kudos to the Key Biscayne P.D. for rightfully enforcing the law; recently I have seen more and more cyclists respecting red lights in Key Biscayne. [...]
Ok, so we here at Transit Miami have to jump on the LeBron James bandwagon too, but not because of basketball. Our boy LeBron seems to like bicycles. He acquired a minority ownership stake in Cannondale a few years ago and The King had this to say about his business venture:
Biking is an extremely important [...]
A Transit Miami-Shout Out to La Carreta on Key Biscayne for putting up a new bicycle rack. La Carreta is a popular pit stop for cyclists and on any given weekend you will find hundreds of cyclists refueling with pastelitos and coffee. Thank you La Carreta!

June 9 (Bloomberg) — Bicycle production may widen its lead over auto-making as governments try to ease congestion and reduce carbon emissions.The CHART OF THE DAY shows the number of bicycles manufactured has grown twice as fast as car output in the past four decades, increasing sixfold. In monetary terms, bikes trail [...]
Happy Monday to all! Here’s a little Monday morning humor to get our week started. Thanks to Jeffrey Lynne over at the South Florida Bicycle Coalition for this cartoon.
A cyclist was struck by a car yesterday morning in Key Biscayne. According to the Miami Herald, the cyclist ran a red light and was then struck by the car. If this accurate, it does not surprise me one bit. Quite frankly, there are too many testosterone-filled cyclists out there giving good cyclists a bad [...]
Since the hit and run collision that killed cyclist Christoph LeCanne in January, the Transit Miami Eye has noticed that the Miami Dade Police Department has wholeheartedly stepped up enforcement on the Rickenbacker Causeway. This morning I noticed a small army of Miami Dade police officers pulling over speeding cars. Well done MDPD, your efforts [...]
The Miami New Times is reporting three separate cycling collisions during the past couple of weeks. One involved a Miami Dade County Bus, another involving a drunken motorcyclist, and yet another involving a private bus; as is usually the case the cyclist ends up on the losing end.
Great job Miami New Times for keeping us [...]
Bike Lane on SW 127 Ave – photo by Daniel M. Perez
Speculated upon by Miami Bike Scene last week, yesterday I spotted the brand new bike lanes on SW 127th Avenue, stretching from Bird Road (42nd Street) to Miller Drive (56th Street). I’m told by a resident of the area that the road is used [...]

We should also thank M.O.S.T (Miami Open Streets Team), [...]

This morning a female cyclist rear-ended a Miami-Dade Transit bus on the Rickenbacker Causeway. The cyclist suffered minor injuries and was not taken to the hospital. I don’t have all the details of the accident, but this much I do know: the cyclist was in the bike lane and she rear-ended the bus that [...]
