Bike Miami Days: Last Event of the Season Returns to Downtown on Sunday, May 17
-Local Businesses, Non-profits, Community Groups to Participate-
Bike Miami Days, Miami’s largest free and family-friendly street party, will return to Downtown Miami for its last event of the dry season. Downtown Miami streets will be CAR-FREE from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm so that people can explore the heart of Miami on foot, by bicycle, on a skateboard or any other form of self-propelled transportation. The event, created by City of Miami Mayor Manny Diaz in November 2009, seeks to reconnect people with the urban core by giving them the opportunity to explore it in a new way. Downtown businesses, local non-profits and cultural organizations are invited to promote their services before thousands of expected participants.
Bike Miami Days is an initiative by Mayor Diaz to promote community, livable streets, bicycling and walking. The event is not a race so there is no official beginning or end point nor registration.
ALL official activities are completely FREE and will include:
• Dance Contests for kids and adults; Prizes will be 6 brand new bicycles
• Public Rally on the Steps of the County Courthouse at 11am
• Expanded Children’s Corner, featuring bounce houses, face painting, arts and crafts
• Yoga and Stretching classes
• Live music throughout the streets, including Classic Rock covers by VIVA, and Latin Jazz Trumpet by Renior
• International Village, showcasing the consulates and cultural institutes of Miami
• Bike Clinics
• Bike Valet Services
• Street Performances by Jugglers, Unicyclists and Balloon Artists
• And much more, to be announced soon.
Participants coming by car are invited to park at Mary Brickell Village for a reduced flat rate of $3.00.
For the most up-to-date list of activities, more information, or to see the complete map for the event, please log on to www.BIKE-MIAMI.com.

Workshops are offered at 11:00am and 1:00pm. Ask any volunteer for directions.
More and more of the Grove’s local shops, street cafes and galleries are joining in support of Bike Miami Days.

Everyone who comes to Peacock Park in time for the 10:30 rally will receive a free orange t-shirt and other goodies so that they can join Miami’s First Annual Orange Parade and have the best chance of ‘renting’ a free bike for the day.

There will be something for everyone including two open stages that will showcase live performances and seminars throughout the day. In addition to all the exhibitors, performers and interactive activities, the event will offer plenty of green-friendly areas including the following:
ƒ Human-Powered Bike Blender – Jump on this bike to blend your very own eco-friendly “King Smoothieâ€.
ƒ Solar-powered Wii Station – Play sports against the game’s artificial intelligence or with friends in this solar-powered video game.
ƒ Family Fun Zone – Partake in the live exhibits provided by The Miami Science Museum. See the experiments and enjoy physical challenges that promote healthy living.
ƒ Fashion Forward: A Clothing Swap – Browse the mini-store presented by Goodwill South Florida and bring lightly worn items that you no longer wear such as suits, dresses, children’s clothes, shoes, purses and belts in order to swap them for items that you will wear.
ƒ Water Bottle Trade-In – Bring six old water bottles and trade them in for a free Clear 2GO portable water filtration bottle. Fill it up anywhere you go for a clean sip of water.
ƒ eWaste Drop Off – This tech recycling station will be collecting old tech items that require special disposal such as batteries, cell phones, computers and monitors.
ƒ Traditional Recycling Stations – Several stations will appear throughout the park for people to discard paper, plastic and aluminum cans. They will be manned by the “Green Team†who will help educate visitors on how to properly recycle.
Because Miami Goin’ Green strives to reduce, reuse and recycle, it will operate on 100% alternative fuel with solar-power and bio-diesel generators. Event organizers also plan to break a Guinness Book of World Records on Wednesday April 22nd by having the longest procession of alternative-fuel vehicles. The current record was set on August 31, 2008 in Melk, Austria with 138 vehicles. Those with electric cars, bio-diesel, CNG or solar-powered vehicles are encouraged to register for this high-profile event at www.MiamiGoinGreen.com.
