New bike rack dedication Saturday at Peacock Park

Leadership Miami (Team 6), a program of the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce along with the Coconut Grove Chamber of Commerce is celebrating the unveiling of an artistic bike rack designed and painted by artist David "Lebo" LeBatard.

The one-of-a-kind bike rack is being dedicated on Saturday, March 28 at Peacock Park.

Festivities are at the Glass House from 4 to 6 pm. They include light refreshments and short speeches by special guests: Commissioner Marc Sarnoff; David Collins Grove BID Executive Director and Collin Worth, Bicycle Coordinator for the City's Bicycle Action Committee.

"Bike the Grove" is where fitness meets art, it is a project which ties in with Miami's Bicycle Action Plan, a green initiative seeking to encourage bicycling and bicycle issues.

April 26, the Grove's streets will be shut down for Coconut Grove Bike Day and two more special bike racks will be unveiled.

Also, there is a short Survey that FIU and the County are conducting related to bike use. If you would like to take the survey it is here.
