The way our streets are built have a huge influence on whether it is safe for us to walk to the store, to a friend's house, or just amble outdoors for relaxation.

These pictures show four things that our cities can do to support our ability to get around - safely - on our two feet.

reminds us to recognize the importance of our urban green spaces for their natural beauty and inherent benefit to us all as transportation corridors.

Those of us using human powered vehicles (bicycles, skateboards and more) to get around town greatly benefit from these routes and the that connect to them. Not only do trails provide a safe place where the commute can be genuinely relaxing and enjoyable, every one of us using a trail takes one less car off the streets, reducing traffic congestion.

And for rural areas, trails provide amazing open spaces for riding that also link us with neighbors a few miles away, especially when two-lane blacktops are just too dangerous for riding.

Trails are truly a triple win for everyone. Three cheers for trails.

Kelsey L Pharr Elementary School surprised us today with photos of their students learning functional bicycle safety knowledge this week as part of their PE stretching and BikeSafe curriculum implementation.

Thank you for the shoutout and the heads up! Great work!

may be over, but the utility, joy, and importance of the bicycle never ends.

As we continue through 2026, let’s remember that , connected low-stress networks, and kid-friendly neighborhood streets require constant advocacy. Master plans need to get implemented, pilot tests need funding, and communities must speak up in unison.

BikeSafe is looking forward to supporting these efforts for many years to come.

We met over 100 people at Lotus House's helmet (and more) giveaway in the space of just an hour. Care packs of healthy food, living essentials, WalkSafe water bottles, sunglasses, and other items were distributed en masse to those in need.

Thank you to our volunteers Maria, Madi, and Nick for helping out to make UHealth's support a success.

The Village of Pinecrest partnered with the University of Miami's BikeSafe team on a federal Safe Streets for All initiative.

If you have a school-aged child, your 5-minute anonymous survey is exactly what this study needs. The BikeSafe team wants to know how your family moves through Pinecrest, how the walk to school feels, where you feel confident and where you pause. Every answer becomes a data point that informs real street safety improvements for this community.
