January 26, 2024
The streets of Aventura are set to come alive with the hum of bicycle wheels and the collective spirit of community togetherness.

Pedaling Towards Safety
Safety takes center stage as the cornerstone of this event. Starting at 9:00 a.m., attendees will have the opportunity to attend various bike safety presentations.

The importance of helmet usage, proper signaling, and obeying traffic rules will be among the topics covered, ensuring that every cyclist is well-versed in the art of responsible biking.
To further incentivize safety-conscious habits, a limited number of helmets and water bottles will be distributed to attendees before the commencement of the bike ride. This thoughtful gesture not only emphasizes the significance of helmet use but also encourages individuals to embrace hydration as an integral part of their cycling routine.
Community Engagement And Interaction
One of the most exciting aspects of the Share The Road Event is the unique opportunity it provides for the community to engage with Law Enforcement Officers. Attendees will be able to interact with Aventura's finest and pose questions regarding Bike Safety directly to those who uphold the rules of the road. This direct interaction humanizes the Officers and breaks down barriers, fostering a sense of partnership between the Police Force and the Community they serve.
Adding an element of festivity to the affair, participants can look forward to chances to learn about their own bikes and bike safety. Participants are encouraged to bring their own bikes for the ride. Riders of all ages should be able to safely ride a bike on the road.

On the day The Aventura Police Department will offer road safety training for riders, allowing them to become accustomed to their own bikes' unique dynamics and controls. From Kids to Adults, riders of all ages are welcome, as long as they can confidently and safely pedal through the urban landscape.
