We had a great time at the Brighton Park bike safety workshop yesterday!

More than 100 of our neighbors came out on a sunny spring Saturday 💚

We also had a chance to ride the new Archer bike lanes in small groups. It’s supposed to be nice out this week—be sure to try out the lanes for yourself!

Archer Avenue reimagined as a six-lane highway with congested traffic and shuttered businesses on either side.

Archer Avenue reimagined as a six-lane highway with congested traffic and shuttered businesses on either side.

Miami Bowl also had a NEO GEO arcade machine in the ‘90s—sadly, all our quarters only delayed the inevitable.
