Hey, We are looking for bike hosts for Spokeo in Miami. Check it out at spokeo.bike

Spokeo is a peer-to-peer bike share that started in Seattle. We are getting lots of rentals this summer. Our top host in Seattle made over $500 last month renting his bikes.

What's it take to be a bike host? To be a decent host, you need to have at least one bike you are willing to rent, need to be a good mechanic and maintain your bikes well. As a host myself, I would say that it's more fun and satisfying that I thought. It's great to help people out on their two wheeled adventure.

The types of bikes people are looking for are possibly not what you'd expect... the bikes renting are fairly inexpensive but well maintained road, hard tail mountain bikes, and city bikes. The bike pictured is our top rental so far this summer--its a well maintained Raleigh road bike from 1998! Most renters are visitors from out of town who are looking for a bike for several days to a week.

Also, we are seeing demand for bikepacking gear and bikes to go along with it! We've outfitted two bike tours this summer with bikes, racks, paniers... We are in need of some more modern bikepacking gear.

Check out Spokeo. Would love any thoughts or questions here!

I have a 1980s trek road bike which is having rear wheel bearing issues I cannot repair myself. I have friend who have worked in cycle repair in different cities for over a decade. The shops here seem.to charge around $100-150 more, or do not do the repairs I am looking to get.

If you have an shop recommendations please let me know. Thank you!

I just cycled across the everglades and I will be exploring the east coast. I ran into a problem on highway 411 where interstate 95 breaks off into the turnpike. I have an email from INDOT where they admit they broke the law when the newly constructed interstate 69 cut highway 55 in half. I think they are being sued by the Amish. This is the exactly the same situation. The interstate and turnpike cut Highway 411 in half for cyclists. INDOT recognizes a corridor is a highway improved to interstate standard but is not an interstate and it must allow pedestrians horses wagons and motorized farm equipment. You might want to bring this to the attention of local law Enforcement. We are winning. By we I mean cyclist, lawyers the Amish farmers and fisherman and drivers of oversized loads who are acting against highway departments that have never bothered to read the law. If a highway is blocked to nonmotorized traffic the highway department is required to post a detour around the route. This has not been done. In addition road signs are missing or are damaged that would allow out of towners to go around the violations of federal law. I took highway 826 and 27th around the blockage.

Hi everyone, I will be in town for a work conference in a few weeks and was thinking to bring my bike to get some training in while there. Does anyone have some recommended routes out that way? (I’m staying in Miami Beach)

I currently live in Charleston, so I am accustomed to how horrible it is to bike near the beach at times. I’ve checked out Komoot and Strava but would love advice from locals as you will know best.

Hey all, I have to replace a frame as my dropouts have rusted through. I thought aluminum would be more resistant, but do any of you have better luck with steel? Thanks for any advice!

Pretty unique experience to have the police shut down the roads so you can bike around with hundreds of others. You literally couldn't buy that if you wanted to, lol, and I guarantee you it will put the biggest shit eating grin on your face.

My bike got stolen so I did it on a public rental CitiBike, worked fine.

Note, Critical Mass is a spontaneous, unorganized gathering, riding is at your own risk, yada yada.

I will be on vacation in South Beach for a week, but want to continue regular triathlon training. It's clear the city is not super conducive to a relatively fast 3ish hour ride, so wondering if anyone can help me plan a route that will be as un-unpleasant as possible. Basically looking to start at South Beach and do 30-40 miles out, and turn around and come back, with a minimum of stopping or risk of imminent death.

I'm looking at NW South River Drive, down 997 and back on 41. Or maybe head south to Florida City? North to Fort Lauderdale looks horrific.

Ride will be done around 6-9am Saturday morning. Let me know if you have any ideas/advice/suggestions.

Hi there! My name is Alyssa and I’m a reporter for the Miami Herald, here to make a non-bike related post but it is nature related. The Herald is conducting reporting and working to better understand residents’ experiences with trees, shade and heat throughout the county. According to a study conducted by the county in 2021, various communities throughout the county have few trees.

We’ve created a submission form for people to share any experiences or questions they may have about living in a community with low tree coverage. If you are interested/comfortable with getting in touch with a reporter, please fill out our form. The form is available in English (www.miamiherald.com/miamitrees) and Spanish (www.elnuevoherald.com/arbolesmiami). We’ve also created a resource guide, in Spanish and English , on how to get free trees from the county. You can further help by sharing this information with friends and family, Thanks!

Hi, I am looking for a private lessons for my 2 young children (7 & 9) to learn how to ride a bike. I myself am not very good at it. Does anyone have recommendations for a business or a person who has experience in this? We are in the Kendall area. Thanks!

Hi! Are there any late night groups around Miami to ride during the work week?

Hello. I'm new to Miami. Wow, the public transportation system in this city is truly awful! Before Miami, I lived up North where cycling was much safer and I did not need a car to get around.

My question is, I need to get to Brickell from Coral Gables. On Google Maps it says I can cycle down 24th street (Coral Way) Is this a safe route? 24street seems to be a busy road.

Thanks in Advance.

EDIT: I'm only staying in Miami for a few months. Therefore, please don't tell me to buy a car.

I’m 16 and I’d like to bike 16-20 minutes in order to get to a martial arts gym since I don’t have a car. It’s double the time to travel by bus since Miami has awful public transportation.

But at the same time there’s no bike friendly routes that I know of.

I’d be going from brickell to marina by Miami River.

Do you have any tips in regards to safety. Is it worth biking?
