Neighbors coming together yesterday for Bike & Walk to School Day! @GroveElem #BikeBus

[SwansonAvenue|KidsClub @swansonavenue]

@CompletedStreet On point. They don't close roads on Sunday mornings even though demand is down

[SwansonAvenue|KidsClub @swansonavenue]

@zerochills The lack of emotion is terrifying 😳

[SwansonAvenue|KidsClub @swansonavenue]

It's been too long. Let's ride! 🚲 @GroveElem @CoconutGroveBID @iBikeSafe

[UHealth BikeSafe @iBikeSafe]

Did you know that November 15th will mark our fourth pop-up bike lane on Matilda Street?

It'll also be the BIGGEST Coconut Grove pop-up to-date, with @CoconutGroveBID and @CommodoreTrail joining in!

RSVP to the event (or the pre-event Painting Party) at: https://t.co/eHt9Kxdbvu

There's no substitute for #protectedbikelanes.

We know all the rational reasons why - safety, mobility, health...

...but watch a child experiencing freedom of two wheels someday, and all the effort to get that lane built will make perfect sense.

@kevinamezaga Like a river of asphalt. Thx for sharing

@KERR_MPD Keep doing what you do @KERR_MPD 👊

[SwansonAvenue|KidsClub @swansonavenue]

No brainer! Keep Fuller Play Street accessible for kids & families. Literally across the street from @GroveElem #communitybuilding @MayorDaniella @FrancisSuarez @kenforflorida @DuranForFlorida

[Ken Russell @kenforflorida]

informed today by @MiamiDadeCounty that the pandemic related street closure meant to allow restaurants to recover from lockdown must be removed and reopened Jun 30. Where do you stand on the Outdoor dining vs parking spaces and car flow options?
@CoconutGroveBID @CityofMiami

[SwansonAvenue|KidsClub @swansonavenue]

The problem is we keep thinking the same system & traffic engineers will think outside the box... This is how we do it on Swanson Avenue. No stop signs, no traffic calming. No problem! @lrobertsonmiami @kenforflorida @iWalkSafe @iBikeSafe @CityofMiami

Let's Ride! Kids show us the way @iBikeSafe

[UHealth BikeSafe @iBikeSafe]

This is just a fraction of the families riding in to @GroveElem today for Bike to School Day w/@BikeGrove, and support from @RideSpin donating helmets.

Imagine how much more accommodating Matilda St. could be with a proper dual-lane cycletrack. Safety for all coming to school.

[SwansonAvenue|KidsClub @swansonavenue]

The bikes are back! Great turnout from @swansonavenue for #BikeToSchool 2021 @GroveElem @iBikeSafe

This is what it's all about. Helping a community fight for it's future. Welcome Home #WynwoodNorte 👏 @WynwoodCEA #NRD2

[SwansonAvenue|KidsClub @swansonavenue]

@KostelecPlan Basically an invitation to speed up... all crosswalks should be blinding pink or electric green, painted by the kids who use them. But who are we kidding? nothing will change until you have a vision zero advocate as USDOT secretary. 🤔 @MiamiBikeLawyer

@Jay_Pitter @Jay_Pitter , you are so on point. Words matter SO MUCH, no matter what community. So if planners & ped/bike, transit advocates want to move the needle, we better come up with some new words. (Because, vast majority of Americans don't relate to "cyclists")

[SwansonAvenue|KidsClub @swansonavenue]

Still waiting for someone to pull down a 30MPH posted speed limit on Swanson Avenue. (18' paved residential street) Nothing worse than posted speed limits that are unsafe for our kids. #20isPlenty

[UHealth WalkSafe @iWalkSafe]

What's that you say? It's #pedestriansafetymonth and EVERYONE is a pedestrian?

Great. Here's a picture that DOESN'T blame the victim and doesn't assume every crosswalk user has perfect vision.

#20isplenty #safetyfirstnotcars

[SwansonAvenue|KidsClub @swansonavenue]

Trailblazers

[UHealth BikeSafe @iBikeSafe]

There's only one type of cycling. One where there's a safe, equitable space for riders of all ages and abilities.
