Everyone riding is solely responsible for their actions and should lead by example. If you see someone riding or behaving irresponsibly, then let them know it’s not acceptable. If you’re partaking in the ride, then it’s your duty to positively influence others. Ride safely and be courteous to everyone in the community, if you can’t do this then quite simply you are not welcomed. There’s no room for hostile, drunk, moronic individuals. There are a lot of great people on these rides, enjoying their city by bicycle for 1-2 hours on the last Friday of every month, and it’s rather unfortunate that a few bad apples can ruin this special occurrence for everyone else. To frustrated motorists, borrow a bicycle and try joining the ride sometime with some friends. You never know, you just may experience one of the most fun, free, and healthy social gatherings South Florida has to offer.</i><br /><i><br /></i><span style="font-style: italic;">Cyclists ride at their own risk and assume responsibility for their own safety!</span></div></div><div><span style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div>The Miami Bike Scenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01488151792961944133noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970713393102253244.post-91943641740452215502024-02-15T01:24:00.004-05:002024-02-17T11:49:52.061-05:00Gables Bike Tour - Historical South Miami<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijsbEPYZdLOg77iKkGS6N1J4iho5-x5JWBYTwmDPv8k7KQ2h7GwdedCwZubJaD6zXiBywfRtGCtb9JXLxsmAQQmOROV3PhyphenhyphenpIjTtcRQkQFFMCxik7d3iyEg7KtoGyOdPhaplwTD9-qH3Ig75BNcDmLOhfGqDsDc34w4g9aKmsjwnlztcAFMfiSGqfk/s1167/IMG_6381.jpeg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1167" data-original-width="1164" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijsbEPYZdLOg77iKkGS6N1J4iho5-x5JWBYTwmDPv8k7KQ2h7GwdedCwZubJaD6zXiBywfRtGCtb9JXLxsmAQQmOROV3PhyphenhyphenpIjTtcRQkQFFMCxik7d3iyEg7KtoGyOdPhaplwTD9-qH3Ig75BNcDmLOhfGqDsDc34w4g9aKmsjwnlztcAFMfiSGqfk/s16000/IMG_6381.jpeg" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>CANCELLED DUE TO RAIN</p><p><strike>Sunday, February 18, 2024</strike></p><strike>10am-1pm<br /></strike><div><a href="https://coralgablesmuseum.org/portfolio-item/gables-bike-tours/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><strike>REGISTER</strike></span></a></div><div><strike><br /></strike></div><div><strike>Coral Gables Museum</strike></div><strike><a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/uYrGKcdh4BzrRaAt5" target="_blank">285 Aragon Ave</a><br />Coral Gables, FL 33134<br /></strike><div><strike><br /></strike></div><strike>"Join us with tour guide Chris Rupp for this bike tour through the City of South Miami with a focus on historic places and green spaces and a final stop at the Salty Donut for a sugary snack provided by Dade Heritage Trust."</strike><div><strike><br /></strike></div><strike>Tours start 10AM at the Coral Gables Museum and includes museum admission.

Everyone riding is solely responsible for their actions and should lead by example. If you see someone riding or behaving irresponsibly, then let them know it’s not acceptable. If you’re partaking in the ride, then it’s your duty to positively influence others. Ride safely and be courteous to everyone in the community, if you can’t do this then quite simply you are not welcomed. There’s no room for hostile, drunk, moronic individuals. There are a lot of great people on these rides, enjoying their city by bicycle for 1-2 hours on the last Friday of every month, and it’s rather unfortunate that a few bad apples can ruin this special occurrence for everyone else. To frustrated motorists, borrow a bicycle and try joining the ride sometime with some friends. You never know, you just may experience one of the most fun, free, and healthy social gatherings South Florida has to offer.</i><br /><i><br /></i><span style="font-style: italic;">Cyclists ride at their own risk and assume responsibility for their own safety!</span></div><div><span style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div>The Miami Bike Scenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01488151792961944133noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970713393102253244.post-23164298330367336592024-01-23T13:11:00.005-05:002024-01-26T01:06:11.061-05:00Specialized Wynwood Graffiti Ride<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbta8LdbHLbvVjOk4jk-ni3nhEx2XlRTuiJOM0tovrGKORLYgPvrXlLTn1FXmbKzYOChlPA-jgyAz9CxmU8MR-fEr5g-W38u7acnw1agTn_UtzQdhB22uVa61wf3tQGf63mdzdBuhoTNSRRe4v1_kIZxN5ohEpoyi05ln3fHIECFv9_ffDyeByGKSQ/s1176/IMG_7868.JPEG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1176" data-original-width="1112" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbta8LdbHLbvVjOk4jk-ni3nhEx2XlRTuiJOM0tovrGKORLYgPvrXlLTn1FXmbKzYOChlPA-jgyAz9CxmU8MR-fEr5g-W38u7acnw1agTn_UtzQdhB22uVa61wf3tQGf63mdzdBuhoTNSRRe4v1_kIZxN5ohEpoyi05ln3fHIECFv9_ffDyeByGKSQ/s16000/IMG_7868.JPEG" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><br /><br />Thursday, January 25, 2024<br />6:30pm<div><br />Specialized Miami - Wynwood<div><a href="https://goo.gl/maps/2wZTf1JGjphwGm3a8" target="_blank">171 NW 23rd Street</a><br />Miami, FL 33127<br /><br />Join <a href="https://www.instagram.com/specializedbicyclesmiami/" target="_blank">Specialized Miami</a> and local artist <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sinerdme/?hl=en" target="_blank">Siner DME</a> on a bike tour of street art in Wynwood.

Everyone riding is solely responsible for their actions and should lead by example. If you see someone riding or behaving irresponsibly, then let them know it’s not acceptable. If you’re partaking in the ride, then it’s your duty to positively influence others. Ride safely and be courteous to everyone in the community, if you can’t do this then quite simply you are not welcomed. There’s no room for hostile, drunk, moronic individuals. There are a lot of great people on these rides, enjoying their city by bicycle for 1-2 hours on the last Friday of every month, and it’s rather unfortunate that a few bad apples can ruin this special occurrence for everyone else. To frustrated motorists, borrow a bicycle and try joining the ride sometime with some friends. You never know, you just may experience one of the most fun, free, and healthy social gatherings South Florida has to offer.</i><br /><i><br /></i><span style="font-style: italic;">Cyclists ride at their own risk and assume responsibility for their own safety!</span></div>The Miami Bike Scenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01488151792961944133noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970713393102253244.post-13501651179864284082023-12-14T17:42:00.007-05:002023-12-21T00:33:44.552-05:00Magic Mondays Holiday Special Ride<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip2dp4Jt58GtWOA0BnwnOLV4JQqtwAXPvgyyM3Eq59i_pPOdGJz7MamDygeEmPQcDouFr3jzKUkPgBXrpw3noslr0fBhC7TlEAIOGvzxc6YdVt0fG2v39tX5PDKxqi96CbHp-QahRwiYzVn1JeYiaeAUCwIX7Pw1oTlEGN3RfvNHq9Hkf03HEOtYPv/s1050/mm3.jpeg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1050" data-original-width="1050" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip2dp4Jt58GtWOA0BnwnOLV4JQqtwAXPvgyyM3Eq59i_pPOdGJz7MamDygeEmPQcDouFr3jzKUkPgBXrpw3noslr0fBhC7TlEAIOGvzxc6YdVt0fG2v39tX5PDKxqi96CbHp-QahRwiYzVn1JeYiaeAUCwIX7Pw1oTlEGN3RfvNHq9Hkf03HEOtYPv/s16000/mm3.jpeg" /></a></div>Get mythical with us on this <b>Magic Mondays Holiday Special Ride as we explore the holiday lights and decor around town</b>!<br /><br />Monday, December 18, 2023<div>8:00pm<br /><div><br />Magic Mondays was a popular weekly Monday night community ride which traversed Coral Gables, South Miami, and Coconut Grove.
