Great weather and flat terrain make Miami perfect for cycling enthusiasts, but as a general method of transportation it shouldn't be your first choice, given traffic and limited bike paths. Consider Miami-Dade Transit's "Bike and Ride" program, which lets permitted cyclists take single-seat two-wheelers on Metrorail and select bus routes. Miami-Dade Bicycle/Pedestrian Coordinator has details on permits, bike maps, and lockers and is open weekdays 8 to 5.
