Pedestrians And Bicycles

More people are riding bikes and walking around Miami Beach than ever before. Approximately 45% of our city residents, commuters, and tourists currently walk, bike or use transit as their primary means of transportation. This means that Miami Beach has one of the most robust bicycle scenes in South Florida and active transportation plays a key role in the life of our residents and visitors. City leadership is committed to supporting transportation choices. On March 18, 2015, City Commission adopted a progressive mode share that puts pedestrians first, transit/bicycles/freight second, and private vehicles third (corridor based). The City of Miami Beach Transportation Master Plan (TMP) was built around these priorities.

Short-Term Bicycle Parking

Short-term bicycle parking is usually defined as two hours or less in duration, such as might be necessary outside a store, or for visitors to an office building, park, library, or government service center. In addition to serving the most basic goal of providing a place for people to lock their bikes, short-term bicycle parking has numerous benefits, including enhancing the overall streetscape of an area, and increasing foot traffic resulting in potentially increased profits for retail businesses. Over 900 bicycle u-racks citywide are available for purposes of short-term bicycle parking.

Long-Term Bicycle Parking and Bike Repair Stations

Long-term bicycle parking implies that the bicyclist is parking the bike all day, overnight, or for an extended duration. Security, protection from the elements, and convenience are all important factors for effective long-term parking. Currently, six (6) City’s parking garages provide for free long-term bicycle parking facility, including bicycle repair stations. Bicycle repair stations are context-sensitive stands that include all the tools necessary to perform basic bike repairs and maintenance, from changing a flat tire to adjusting brakes and derailleurs, and are designed to handle all types of bicycles. The air pump includes a pressure gauge which ensures proper inflation pressures. Hanging the bike from the hanger arms allows the pedals and wheels to spin freely while making necessary adjustments. Users can easily scan the code on the station with their smartphone to access a variety of tutorials on how to perform bike repairs.
