According to a new study by Money Beach, Miami is the no. 2 city in their Top 10 Most Beautiful Cycling Cities in the World list. Miami ranked over Paris, France, and all other US cities.

In describing Miami’s attraction to riding, the report specifically mentions the Rickenbacker Causeway, describing it as a road “which connects Miami to Key Biscayne is just under six miles and is one of the most popular routes that cyclists in the city head out on.” Some other reasons for selecting Miami included its dense vegetation and incredible views of the sea. “Miami, USA, and Paris, France followed, with the long beachy rides and street-art adorned roads of Miami also placing it as the best place in the States for anyone looking for a photo-ready bike ride, above Atlanta and Seattle.” their findings state.
