Brickell Key
Brickell Key
This shot is from the walking path in the back of a high rise on Brickell Avenue looking out at Brickell Key.
Brickell Key is a gated community, but I rode in on the sidewalk just fine, wasn’t tased. Rode around this very expensive piece of property and I guess it’s the views they are buying because for the most part, it’s just sidewalks and roads littered with huge speed bumps. Feels very claustrophobic, too many buildings in such a small space, my humble opinion.
Walking quite a lot these days also, the 8th Street espresso calls my name a couple of times a day. So far today, and it’s only 7pm, I’ve walked 13.41 miles, in addition to the miles on the bike.
Distance 15.87 miles
Miami, FL
What can I say, it's Miami.
The inhabitants of this city prefer baseball caps over helmets.
The weekend warriors do wear helmets, but lack basic bike etiquette at times.
The delivery riders on electric bikes are just plain crazy, no road rules apply to them.
Look both ways and pray.
