Recognize this picture? It’s part of a testimonial about a “lifetime of biking” that Rima Gerhard of Miami Beach posted on PeopleForBikes.org page in 2013. The mom in this picture is at South Pointe adjacent to the Government Cut waterway.

Thanks to my mother, I was introduced to biking as just a wee toddler. I remember urging her to biker faster, faster!! as she would take me to the playground, kindergarten, and eventually school. When I got my first bike, I felt like a princess who just received her very own white horse. Of course, my bike was much better than a horse. It takes so little to maintain a bike. And it brings so many benefits.
