On Friday, March 6, cyclists from Miami-Dade County will celebrate Bike to Work Day at the University Metrorail Station near the Coral Gables campus. With support from GreenU, the Office of Parking and Transportation, and the University of Miami Police Department (UMPD), riders will embark on the annual 7.6-mile route to Downtown Miami to raise awareness about the benefits of biking to work. University students and faculty and staff members are invited to join the community for Bike to Work Day and to explore the benefits of the UBike program.
Designated as a Bike-Friendly University by the League of American Bicyclists since 2012, the University of Miami offers discounts and perks to faculty, staff, and students who register their bikes as part of the UBike program. Here’s what you need to know:
