The Underline is transforming the land underneath Miami’s Metrorail into a 10-mile trail and 120-acre park and gallery. Inspired by NYC's Highline and informed by a ThinkBike Workshop, it connects thousands of residents to schools, shops and transit. Kurt Kaminer captured a ride down the newly open section of the project from SW 19th Avenue to 27th. Curious how this project came about?

Each year, thousands of bikes are fished out of the Amsterdam canals. This is important to keep them clean and clear for boat traffic. After they are recovered, the bikes are restored or recyled for further use. via @iulialiveslife on Instagram | Dutch Cycling Embassy

"Traffic isn't like water. Traffic is human behaviour. It's not an inert object. It's how people move around the city. If you make it harder to drive and easier to walk and cycle; people walk and cycle... you have less vehicles on the road." - Will Norman https://dutchcycling.nl/en/news/podcast | Dutch Cycling Embassy

Amsterdam's cycling infrastructure plays a huge part in enabling someone to take a suitcase on a bike, or carry a friend, or... [simply fill in the blank]. And once the groundwork is laid, the beauty is born from a decision in knowing that you can do it. http://rollingspoke.com/random-bicyclists-of-amsterdam/ | Dutch Cycling Embassy

Did you know Beijing has a dedicated, elevated cycling expressway? Opened in 2019, the six-metre wide, 5.4-km long viaduct includes a counterflow lane, and six on- and off-ramps. Electric bikes are prohibited, and speed is limited to 15 km/hr. It is used by an average of 11,600 cyclists every day. | Dutch Cycling Embassy

One of the five principles of Dutch bicycle network design is COMFORT. The CROW Manual states cycling infrastructure should “Ensure cyclists experience minimal nuisance (vibrations, extra exertion due to height difference, trouble from other traffic) and delay (stops)”. https://dtvcapacitybuilding.com/blog/principles-for-cycling-infrastructure-design-comfort/ | Dutch Cycling Embassy

One of the principles of Dutch bike network design is COHESION, which the CROW Manual states should “form a cohesive whole, and link all origins and destinations that cyclists may have”. So what does this mean and how should this be applied in practice? https://dtvcapacitybuilding.com/blog/cycling-infra-design-principles-cohesion/ | Dutch Cycling Embassy

In the Netherlands, cycling is more than a mode of transport. From school runs to grocery trips, bikes are seamlessly integrated into everyday life. Children learn to cycle early, and entire cities are designed around safe, efficient cycling networks. This deep-rooted culture supports health, accessibility, and sustainability, setting a global example of how the bicycle can be central to urban life. 📸 @activetowns | Dutch Cycling Embassy

It’s no accident that the Dutch cycle so much. Decades of investment in safe, connected, and convenient infrastructure make cycling the easiest choice for millions. Pictured is a fietsstraat in Utrecht. These are roads where bicycles have priority, and cars are considered "guests," meaning they must yield to cyclists and adapt to their speed. | Dutch Cycling Embassy

Using the upper section of the two-tiered bike parking in the Netherlands isn't for everyone. But it's easier than it looks.
