Anyone who has been to Miami Beach on a weekend has likely been a witness to some of the minor gripes that affect the city, namely its traffic and scarcity of parking.  These are the kinds of problems that most popular tourism cities have to deal with, but there’s usually someone behind the scenes trying to do something about.  If you live in the Apogee condo, getting around is about to get a little easier.

The Electric Bicycle Store opened its doors last week in Miami Beach right on the much traveled Alton Road.  Interestingly, the store is perhaps the first to try and spur adoption of such a means of environmentally conscious transportation not only in Miami Beach but also in the country.  The store offers Apogee Miami Beach residents and tourists the option to purchase a bicycle at varying prices or rent one on an hourly or daily basis.

Here in South Florida people heavily favor traditional automobiles so The Electric Bicycle Store has an uphill climb of sorts in broadening people’s preferred method of transportation, even if it is clearly a much better earth-friendly alternative.  Still, if you ever plan on exploring Miami Beach from Apogee South Beach, it may be worth at least renting one of these bicycles as it will surely save you time and money.
