Ticket to Ride

It’s a perfect morn for Critical Mass

By Elyse Wanshel

Published on June 07, 2007

Everyone can agree that Miami traffic sucks, especially when you’re alone. Every radio station suddenly breaks for commercial (a conspiracy? We think so), and your only options for eye candy are the endless taillights on the Dolphin Expressway or your extraordinarily focused neighboring nose-picker. Thankfully today you can break free of the A/C and get some fresh air with Emerge Miami’s Critical Mass members as they meet at the Vizcaya Metrorail station at 10:00 a.m. to leisurely bike down South Bayshore Drive.

The community-supported, family-oriented ride will explore the Grove’s green, shaded canopies and stop at a farmers’ market. The Critical Mass peeps are supporting the new Sunset Drive bike lane and alternative transportation in Miami-Dade. So pump up your Huffy’s deflated tires, keep your VW Rabbit in park, and embark on an environmentally friendly adventure.
