With Covid continuing to affect social gatherings and events, more and more families have turned to bikes for fresh air and fun.
More than a dozen Broward County parks offer paths and trails for bicycling. Entrance fees are generally less than $2 per person, adding to weekend popularity at local parks for novice and expert riders alike. Select parks also have Bike Fix-It Stations with bike mounts, air and tools, and manicured mountain bike trails.
Brian Piccolo Park in Cooper City is home to a velodrome for bicycle racing, as well as a nearby road course for cyclists and inline skaters, which is open daily.
Miami-Dade County Parks also has many park-based trails to choose from and offers a Bike305 program with online resources to help you find events, new routes, trails, bike safety tips, and more. The park system has seen a significant increase in trail use in the past two year and has joined the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy initiative called Trail Moments, which encourages the community to share stories about how trails have positively impacted their lives this past year and beyond.
