I like Bike Miami better when it's held in Downtown and Brickell. There's a bit more organization and more activities for participants and spectators to enjoy. <br /><br />Looking on the bright side... at least the weather was nice to ride.Susan Toro (Miss Susy)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03363177918931630030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970713393102253244.post-62592186090789149372010-04-26T08:14:52.266-04:002010-04-26T08:14:52.266-04:00It WOULD have been nice had the roadblocks been se...It WOULD have been nice had the roadblocks been set up properly. Barriers had been placed at the intersection of Grand and Main, despite the fact that the ride continued through the intersection and onto these two roads. <br /><br />PSA protection was minimal - automobiles were constantly filtering onto the route from the turnabout at McFarlane (the opposing "lanes" of motorist traffic had been split, but the return (southbound) traffic had no barrier between it and BM), and westbound on Grand. <br /><br />What's more, PSA/City of Miami traffic enforcement vehicles were parked on the median wherein McFarlane bends to the east and becomes South Bayshore, blocking off visual sight-lines and physical room. Its bad enough that other cyclists use this area to hold coffee klatches and often cut the apex of the curve whilst coming through it (what surprises me is that I've yet to see a head-on collision at this area), a Ford Explorer parked in this area (half on the road, half on the curb) doesn't help.<br /><br />Obviously, very little care was put into organizing this particular Bike Miami. Frankly, I don't care whether they have another or not. I feel safer when riding cars in a NORMAL setting, rather then playing Cyclist Frogger at one of these events.Man with the 5Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15474352870963628681noreply@blogger.com
