Miami is becoming a bicycle friendly city by the year 2012. The key advancement of bicycle routes and facilities will create a full array of accommodations for cyclists by allowing cycling to be an easy alternative to automobile usage or for recreational enjoyment of the city itself. Miami will also become a safe place to ride a bicycle this will also create a more livable and vibrant city for many residents of Miami.
The Bicycle Action Committee (BAC) was formed in 2008 as a means to push Miami forward to become a bicycle friendly city. The Bicycle Action Committee is composed of representatives from various city departments, business owners, and cycling advocates. The BAC was responsible for the creation of the 2008 Bicycle Action Plan which set in motion the 2009 Bicycle Master Plan which sets to make Miami a Bicycle Friendly City by 2012.
Miami also obtains cycling groups that are separated throughout the city such as the Everglades Bicycle Club, 305 Critical Mass, Emerge Critical Mass, and the Green Mobility Network is also a club. Miami is really pressing forward to have cycling paths throughout the city by the year of 2012.
