University Of Miami Teach Kids About Bicycle Safety, Protected Bike Lanes

This Friday July 12^th, kids at the City of North Miami Library will experience a unique bicycle event that allows them to share the joys of bicycle riding while recognizing the importance of safe streets for road safety.

The “bike rodeo” event, a joint effort between the North Miami Branch Library, University of Miami BikeSafe Program, and North Miami Police Department, will feature a pop-up traffic garden in the parking lot of the library, along with indoor activities on-site. Youths will learn bicycle skill basics with BikeSafe and North Miami Police training staff, ride through pop-up protected bike lane demonstrations, practice good handling techniques, and design their own street with miniature, modular building pieces.

The event will emphasize the importance of “safe streets” – streets with separated and barrier-protected bike lanes, safe crosswalks, and traffic calming measures designed to make streets accessible for people of all ages and abilities.
