From the Publisher—

ATTENTION ALL BICYCLE ENTHUSIASTS!

After enduring long months melting in the South Florida summer (our dues for living in this beautiful part of the country), now is our time. For the next three months, take advantage of the low humidity and cooler temperatures. Dust off your bike, take it to your local bike shop, get it in shape and ride.

So much has changed in South Florida in just one season. Fort Lauderdale has added miles of designated bike lanes. Miami-based 501(c)(3) Friends of the Underline facilitated the $27 million purchase of a section of old railway to be converted to a bicycle and pedestrian trail. We now have a dedicated, bicycle-friendly direct rail system, the Brightline, with nonstop service to all three counties, giving us easy access to new places to explore on our bicycles.

Citizens of South Florida, we’re becoming a 21-century multi-mobility region. So, get out and explore South Florida by bicycle. Check our listings for chill rides, including Taco Tuesday.

Ride the beautiful Palm Beach Trail, just over the Flagler Bridge from WPB. (For more information, visit the Palm Beach Trail Bicycle Shop.) Got family from the north crashing? Grab bikes from one of the bike-share kiosks: Citi-Bike in Miami-Dade, B-Cycle in Broward County and Sky Bike in Palm Beach County. Or rent a bike from one of the many South Florida bicycle shops listed in our directory.

And remember, safe cycling first: Always wear a helmet and obey the rules of the road.

Pedals UP! —Michael Gale Cycling Quarterly South Florida

We Will Remember You …

O

n the morning of Sunday, November 25th, like any other Sunday morning, more than a dozen members of Cycling Family Broward donned their CFB club jerseys and headed out for a group ride.

Denise Marsh, club vice-president, as always, gave the pre-ride speech to the group in the parking lot of a local bicycle shop: “No more than two abreast, stay together, call out or use hand signals to indicate road hazards, stay hydrated, call out mechanicals so the group can stop (nobody gets left behind) and obey all the traffic rules.”

Then, Denise Marsh, Carlos Rodriguez, Edgar Reyes, Maria Bautista, John Beitz and the others rolled slowly out of the parking lot to the familiar clip, clip, clip of riders clipping into their pedals.

But on that beautiful Sunday, a distracted driver operating a two-ton machine took out a structured group of careful, safe and disciplined cyclists, leaving our community devastated by the tragic loss of Denise Marsh and Carlos Rodriquez.

My heart is broken.

CALL TO ACTION As all roadies are aware, cycling with motorists unfamiliar with the rules of the road is dangerous. Something must be done. Get involved! As a group, our cycling community forms a huge block of voters. We have good people in elected positions, but our local representatives and state legislators are not lying awake nights worrying about bicycle safety. So, let us educate them about what we need.

Here are some ideas I saw floated on social media.

Short term: Create crowd sourcing to secure funds for big, bold signage on SR 84 that says: WATCH OUT FOR BICYCLES (between hours 6:30– 9:30 am) Intermediate: Develop an outline of legislative MUST DOs Long term: Work with local politicians to advance a legislative plan Get out the message: Dear Motorists, Cyclists belong on the road. Don’t text, drink, eat, read, put on makeup or distract yourself in any other way while driving. #ButNotWhileDriving.

If everyone who signed petitions comes together and gets involved, we will have the beginnings of strong South Florida Bicycle Alliance. Petitions are a good start. Now, we need to TAKE ACTION. Reach out to your local bicycle club and organize. BE THE CHANGE! —Michael Gale

Take Control of Your Ride

iding on the streets of South Florida entails risk, no doubt. But cyclists can actively control their experience. Wearing a helmet, having lights on your bike and never riding against traffic, these are a given.

But what about less obvious safety tips?

Let’s start with cars and trucks: • Make eye contact with motorists at intersections. This really gets people’s attention, so turn your face directly toward drivers at intersections.

• When a driver pauses for you to pass, it’s polite to wave your thanks. But hold that wave until you are in front of the car. If you wave too soon, the driver might think you are waving them on and pull out in front of you.

• Don’t use earbuds. The hiss of a car’s tires on the road warns that a car is coming up behind you, and your music will drown that out.

What about parked vehicles? Are their doors going to fling open in front of you? Are they going to pull out in front of you? Here are some clues that a parked car is ready to enter your space: • Are there people in the car?

• Are the windows open?

• Is the front wheel turned out into the road?

• Are the brake lights on?

Don’t ride over construction plates. At best they are slippery; at worst they will destroy your tires. Go around them. If you have to go over one, walk.

• Is the car running? This is hard to tell, but early in the morning there can be water vapor.

Slippery roads are another potential hazard. They have many causes: • Rain. If it hasn’t rained in a while, the first minutes of rain flush a greasy slurry of oil and rubber dust to the surface. Crosswalk stripes and bridges get slippery when wet.

• Sand. A common South Florida treat is sand blowing across the roadway from the beach. Also, watch for sand near construction sites. Sometimes sand is difficult to see if the asphalt is very light. (That’s another good reason not to wear earbuds. You need to hear the sound your tires make and the way that sound changes when the road surface changes.)

• Construction plates. Those big iron plates don’t bother cars, but their sharp edges could lacerate a skinny road-bike tire. The plates are slippery even when dry, but wet, they are like ice. Walk if you can’t avoid them altogether.

• Leaves. Leaves covering the road can be slippery when dry and worse when wet—and wet leaves can hide under apparently dry ones.

Avoid these low-traction situations if you can, but if you suddenly find yourself in a slippery spot, don’t panic. When you have no traction, don’t brake or turn. Try to coast straight through. There is usually enough traction to keep the bike upright if Leaves are slippery when they are dry. When wet they you keep rolling.

Stay alert to your sur- are treacherous. These were wet underneath. roundings. Think and look ahead. With these tips in mind, you can enjoy your ride and make it home safely with a smile on your face.

Training Wheels For the Entry-Level Rider Chill Rides

W

hy do you love riding your bike? Is it the freedom it affords you to explore beautiful South Florida? Or the exhilaration of the flow of adrenaline fueling your body as you become stronger and faster on

wheels?

Whatever the reason, I think we all agree cycling is a fantastic sport. But it’s not always about high performance. Some of my favorite rides have been “chill rides.” I’ll never forget the huge, 12-foot gator I came upon during a leisurely exploration of Shark Valley. Or the fun weekend couples’ ride exploring South Beach with friends. (The post-ride mimosas were a definite plus!)

As the weather grows cooler, it’s nice to slow down a bit to enjoy South Florida’s picturesque scenery. The following routes are hidden gems that offer opportunities for fun cycling adventures.

My sweetie and I decided to ride the Brightline from Fort Lauderdale to explore Palm Beach on our bikes. What a treat! The staff welcomed us and helped us rack up our bikes near our seats. Polite servers provided drinks and snacks for a small fee. We gazed out the window, luxuriating in cool comfort as we sipped our Bloody Marys and looked forward to exploring the famed Palm Beach Trail.

Drinks and snacks are available on the Brightline for a small fee.

The Palm Beach Trail starts just north of Flagler Bridge and ends at Royal Poinciana Bridge. Protected from auto traffic, it’s a gorgeous little trail nestled between millionaire mansions and the Intracoastal Waterway. Expect spectacular views along the paved, winding path, where you will encounter other riders, walkers and joggers amidst the aroma of jasmine and salt water. There are plenty of fun places to stop for a bite before heading home.

Enjoy a mélange of sun, surf and colorful tourists on the Hollywood Broadwalk, where a bike lane is situated alongside a pedestrian boulevard.

The bike lane runs between Hollywood and Sheridan Boulevards, just east of AIA, an area free of cars, so less experienced cyclists can enjoy a leisurely ride that is safe and fun. There are a number of cafes, restaurants and bars along the route, as well.

In Dade County, Crandon Park (the old Crandon Park Zoo) has miles of paved areas to explore. Rumor has it that the zoo was started after a traveling circus broke down there, stranding bears, monkeys and a goat. It flourished for a time, but eventually closed. In 1991, the area was transformed into the Gardens at Crandon Park. Some people claim the gardens are haunted, as the grounds are littered with abandoned cages and other remnants of the old zoo.

A real adventure awaits as you explore the area, which is teeming with wild birds, punctuated by eerie ruins and blooming with lush tropical landscapes.

Crandon Park is located at the northern end of Key Biscayne (6747 Crandon Boulevard, Key Biscayne).

So, put on your helmets, fill up your water bottles, slather on sunscreen and go exploring! Take a fun recovery ride or bring along your favorite newbie for a one-of-a-kind “chill ride.”

Bikepacking Adventures

ikepacking bags allow a cyclist the opportunity to bikepack or bike tour without the braze-ons and mounts for bike panniers used in traditional bike touring. This allows for the use of a more “off road” type bike and gives touring bicyclists more options of places to ride.

Researching the Appalachian Trail (AT) led one cyclist to Harper’s Ferry, where the AT crosses the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal Towpath (C&O). The C&O, along with the Great Allegheny Passage (GAP), connect to create a 335-mile bike trail from Pittsburgh to D.C. Three friends, Allan McHenry, Ivan Rosado and Randall Haws, set out on this adventure last spring not knowing what to expect. As rookie bikepackers, they decided to stay in B&Bs along the trail instead of camping. Because reservations must be made in advance, this requires a tighter schedule and more careful planning than camping.

Thanks to Amtrak’s new bike service, the cyclists were able to take the train from Miami to D.C. to Pittsburgh for $20 a bike, rather than paying high airline bike fees. And when taking a scenic bike tour, the train seems to fit the journey well.

They enjoyed the experience so much, this group of friends set out to tackle the Katy Trail, the longest rail trail (240 miles) in America. The Katy Trail crosses Missouri from just outside Kansas City and all the way to St. Louis.

Bikepacking bikes lean on a bridge along the Katy trail. There are many bridges like this along the trail.

Amtrak connects both ends of the trail to allow a train ride out and a bike ride back.

This time, they opted to camp, instead of booking B&Bs. Their bikepacking bags were filled with tents, other camping gear, food and, of course, coffee.

(As with any camping trip, space is limited when bikepacking, so gear selections need to be well thought out.)

Just like the GAP-C&O, there were many sights to see along the Katy Trail. This trail is part of the Lewis and Clark Trail and has historical markers along the way. It also passes the no-longer operational Missouri State Penitentiary, which is open for prison tours. Several breweries dot the route, too. A cold beer always seems to taste better after a long day of riding.

Their next trip is looking like a MTB bikepacking trip around Lake Tahoe next year – or maybe the GAP-C&O again, but camping out, instead of B&Bing.

There are many resources on the internet to get you started on your own two-wheeled adventure. Check out some of the websites below: www.bikepacking.com www.bikecando.com www.bikekatytrail.com —Ivan Rosado, Allan McHenry, Randall Haws Randall is a real estate accountant and is on the Bike MS committee.

Extreme Bicycle Adventure

n early September, six friends flew from Tampa to New Orleans for a bicycle trip. They had shipped their bikes ahead to Venice, Louisiana, and planned to ride from there to Venice, Florida – a whopping 805 miles – in four days, hoping to average 200 miles per day. The trip was the brainchild of David Reynolds, owner of Real Bikes in Venice, Florida. Once they arrived and were building their bikes, they found themselves obsessively checking weather radar to see where Tropical Storm Gordon was heading.

Since they were out of the area of greatest danger, the group set out early September 5th and navigated the crossing of the Mississippi via bridges and ferries. 125 miles into the first day, disaster struck before weather hindered their progress: One of the riders hit a huge pothole, cracking his bicycle into pieces and breaking some ribs and his collarbone. A good Samaritan assisted in getting him to a hospital. It looked as if the trip might be over before it was even properly started. However, after an emotional group meeting, the injured rider insisted he would fly home, while the remaining five should continue the ride.

The following day they managed 185 miles, but the roads were much

rougher than they’d expected, hurting their time and causing many flats. They also rode through thunderstorms and heavy rain spawned by Hurricane Gordon. The next day, due to the weather conditions, one of the five remaining riders, not wanting to slow down the group, abandoned the ride. The four who were left were determined to make it home.

They made it to Chiefland, Florida, joyous the Rough roads caused lots of flats. next day would bring them home!

That day was long and hard, but they were reassured by the familiarity of the roads they were traveling. Just 50 miles from home, they got their 11th flat. Out of repair supplies, they stood frustrated and forlorn by the side of the road. Their spirits soared when they spotted one of their bike-store customers. He was following them online on their geo-tracker and had come to their rescue with tubes, a pump and spare CO2 cartridges. Yet another customer tracking them arrived not half an hour later, with food and drinks!

They rode the remaining 50 miles through the night, averaging about 20 mph, ready to get home! Around midnight, they approached their destination with 196 miles on their odometers. It was painful, but they hammered past the bike shop for two more miles and then turned around so they pulled into the Real Bikes shop with 200 miles. Real Bikes employees greeted them with beer and pizza!

Liv Ambassador Jane Horton was one of the finishing participants. When asked if this was a once-in-a-lifetime suffer-fest or if she would do it again, her answer was a resounding ‘’Yes.” It was a unique experience shared among friends, and she is looking forward to another like it. In fact, she is looking for an epic ride to celebrate her birthday in February!

HOW TO USE THIS DIRECTORY Our Weekly Rides listings are one of the main reasons I started this magazine. “Where’s a good ride?” is a question I often hear, so I’ve provided a resource to answer it. Please let us know about rides we may have missed.

These established rides are open to new riders. Listed times can be the actual departure time, so always arrive early, introduce yourself and ask questions. Rating skill levels can be challenging, so it’s best to expect the level to be faster than cited. Always wear a helmet and obey the rules of the road. Attaching a rear blinking light is a good idea, and a headlight at night is the law.

Ride details include: DAY: Weekly Ride calendar starts on a Saturday and ends on Friday.

TIME: The time the ride starts is the first item in the listing.

SKILL LEVEL: Color-coded arrows indicate the maximum speed or average speed.

DROP/NO DROP: If you have a mechanical issue or can’t keep up during a drop ride, you’re on your own.

During a no-drop ride, the group will not leave you behind.

CONTACT INFO: If contact info is not available, take a shot and show up. There’s a good chance there will be riders unless weather interferes.
