The Mayor of Miami has got something cool planned for this Sunday, November 9, 2008. Get your bicycle, rollerblades, strollers ready — Bike Miami is going to take over the streets of downtown. From 10 am to 3pm, Flagler (from the Courthouse to Bayfront Park) and S. Miami Ave. (to Mary Brickell Village/10th St) will be open only to bike/pedestrian traffic!
We’re so excited about this event. We love that it is like "open play". You don’t have to start from any specific point. You don’t need to arrive at a specific time. Just get outside and have some fun. This is the kind of event people can participate in as they choose!
Of course, if you’d like to participate in something more structured, there are some planned activities. Go to Bayfront Park for PrayerDanse at 9:30 am or Yoga at 1pm. Rally with Mayor Manny Diaz at 11am on the corner of Biscayne & Flagler. After the rally, get a free tour from the Historical Museum, or free passes to Miami Art Museum.
And oh, did we mention the Valet Bike Parking at both Bayfront Park and Mary Brickell Village? Plus, bring your bike on public transit and ride free on Sunday.
After you’ve exhausted yourself by biking, rolling, and walking around downtown, participating in yoga, and shopping at the shops, swing by the Bike Miami After Party at Dolores, But You Can Call Me Lolita in Mary Brickell Village from 2 – 5pm. It’s being organized by our friends from Transit Miami.
