Rickenbacker Causeway – Virginia Key/Key Biscayne
Another uber-popular bike route, the Rickenbacker Causeway, Virginia Key, and Key Biscayne loop is a bikers dream – flat road, gorgeous seaside views, and a nice distance. The Rickenbacker Causeway hill provides for a nice challenge.
MiamiBeach Board Walk (South of 21st Street)
For those who don’t live on the beach, this is a really great way to explore the area from a different viewpoint. Our advice is to not only take your bike on the Boardwalk from 21st street to 5th street but to continue on and explore south of 5th.
Wynwood
What better way to explore the colorful Wynwood murals than on a bike? You can rent a citibike for a couple of hours and zip up and down the artistic streets of this vibrant neighborhood. There will definitely be a few murals you’ve never seen before.
