(Miami, FL)- Win 1 of 7 free bikes this Sunday, May 17, 2009, 9:00 am to 2:00 pm, at the last Bike Miami Days of the Dry season.

There will also be a public rally with raffle prizes to include a seventh bike and bike gear from Mack Cycle & Fitness and a 2-night stay at the Four Seasons Miami. In addition to the giveaways, there will be live entertainment and fun activities for the entire family.  Downtown Miami streets will be CAR-FREE for the duration of the event so that people can explore the heart of Miami on foot, by bicycle, on a skateboard or any other form of self-propelled transportation.

Bike Miami Days was created by City of Miami Mayor Manny Diaz in November 2008 to reconnect people with their community by giving them the opportunity to explore our City in a new way. Downtown businesses, local non-profits and cultural organizations are invited to promote their services before thousands of expected participants.
