Taken during the early Sunday morning ride with Alexandra. We were once again using the South Dade Trail.
Where does this trail run? The bike trail follows along the US1 Bus Lanes. An official description is as follows: The South Dade Trail runs along the South Miami-Dade Busway between Florida City and Kendall Drive/ SE 88th Street just north of the Dadeland South Metrorail station. The trail connects communities from South Miami to Homestead. At Kendall Driver, however, the trail doesn't end. You can pick up the M-Path here and continue north to downtown Miami. The corridor is 31 miles long.
It is certainly a road less traveled and separates the bicyclists from the heavily trafficked road.
Get out and enjoy the bike amenities. It is a healthy way to both travel to and work off your morning breakfast. It is a great route to and from sites in Palmetto Bay, Pinecrest, East Kendall (especially Downtown Dadeland) and South Miami, we have taken it as far as to the University of Miami campus.
If MDX gets it's way, the Busway will be turned into a "Lexus Lane" toll road and, I imagine, riding along side it on a bike will not be a pleasant experience. So, enjoy it before they destroy it.
