Miami Beach proclaims Miami Beach Bicycle Center Day after 48 years in business
Summary
The commission honored the Miami Beach Bicycle Center for 48 years of local service, noting its role in bike safety, education and city support during events like Art Basel.
The Miami Beach City Commission on May 28 presented a proclamation recognizing the Miami Beach Bicycle Center for 48 years of service to the city.
Commissioners described the family-run shop—founded in 1977 (remarks referenced 1970 and 1977 during the presentation)—as a longstanding local business that promotes cycling, supports departments including police and parking, and helps residents and visitors navigate the city during large events. The owners and their sons accepted the recognition and thanked the city and customers for decades of support.
One commissioner recounted using the shop’s bicycles during Art Basel to travel the city and praised the family-owned business for supporting police and city departments. The recognition was ceremonial; no legislative or budgetary action followed.
