Miami Beach has spent much of February touting its plans to become a more bike-friendly city and splashing bright green paint on one prominent bike lane. So it was curious that today the city’s official Twitter account promised aggressive action against cyclists who dare to lock up to a street sign.
In a series of tweets Thursday, the city of Miami Beach threatened to tag and seize bikes that are “illegally parked,” such as on stop signs or street poles. “Move it or lose it,” the tweet reads.
The threat sparked a heated discussion on Twitter, with dozens of residents demanding that the city provide more options for bicycle parking. Sure, locking bikes to signs is technically illegal — but so is jaywalking, rolling through stop signs, and a hundred other common behaviors in South Beach.
