Bike Miami Days - Tue, 08/31/2010 - 14:23
Bike Miami Days Returns to Downtown Miami on 10-10-10 !

That’s right, Miami. We missed you, too. The Bike Miami Days Team is back to open Flagler Street and South Miami Avenue to pedestrian traffic for five sweet hours on Sunday, October 10th. Bring your kids, your parents, your friends from out of town… meet up with your colleagues, your cousins, the remaining Class of ’89… the City of Miami welcomes everyone to the free, family-friendly Bike Miami Day!

We are still seeking your fully tax-deductible donations and sponsors. Please contact Collin Worth if you can help.

Volunteers! Emerge Miami will be leading our crews of volunteers – you can be a big help just by spreading the word. We’re on Facebook and Yelp already. Help us make sure no one misses Miami’s largest free and family-friendly street party!

Bike Miami Day in Downtown Miami 2008

Who is making this possible? The effort is lead by a team of volunteers who love this city: The Bicycle Action Committee, the Open Streets Project, the South Florida Bike Coalition, Emerge Miami and others. We couldn’t do it without the support of the Office of Mayor Tomas Regalado, Commission Chair Marc Sarnoff and (drumroll) Bicycle Coordinator Collin Worth.

We are still in need of financial support for this event but our sincerest gratitude to leaders who have already stepped up to cover the costs of Bike Miami Days:

We can’t wait to add more logos and mentions for those who step up to support this community program. Thank you!
