On November 9th, downtown Miami will close streets to cars from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM so bicyclists, pedestrians, rollerbladers and others can explore downtown in a fun, safe and completely free way. Bike Miami is an initiative by City of Miami Mayor Manny Diaz to promote bicycling, liveable streets and the growing urban neighborhood of Downtown Miami.
