The Rickenbauker Causway Bridge

The bridge out to Key Biscayne is a very friendly bridge to ride or walk. The East bound side has a pedestrian/walking path that is separated from the roadway as well a bike path on the roadway. The West bound side has the same type of bike path but no walkway. It's kept very clean and well maintained. I rode the walkway side going East because I wasn't sure if I would be able to pedal all the way to the top the first time. On the way back I rode the bike path. I hit 30.4 mph on the downhill side. What a rush.

All of Key Biscayne is very bike and pedestrian friendly. They even have a lighted road sign when entering the City of Key Biscayne that warns motorists to yield to pedestrians. The roads are very wide and the main street through town has bike paths on both sides. The state park has paved paths as well as dirt for the adventurer. Most residents use bikes, golf carts and walk to were they're going if they aren't leaving the island. It's a bikers paradise. The batteries' in my camera were running low or I would have more pics of the ride through town. I've attached pics of the bridge and the bike path in the park. I'll be riding out there quite a bit now so I can work on riding up the bridge, so I'll get more pictures.
