I think you might get more people to show up if you open it up to different skill levels like some of the local bicycle clubs do. It is hard for people with "regular" skates to keep up with the group that has more professional type skates and can go faster. I've already gone a couple of times and have had to go into the police car once you are at the back of the pack. It's not worth it for me to go if that's the policy. I skate around my neighborhood for two hours straight and enjoy going at a regular pace.

 

The monthly Saturday bike rides offered by Miami Beach cater to all types of cyclists.

Although I enjoy skating alone, in groups, and with you, I hope you lose your police escort.

This is a very expensive use of public resources.

Hi skaters,

Our monthly First Friday Skate is this week, and it is important that you clear your calendar to come out and skate with us. We had great weather the past two months, but a low number of skaters. We may be in jeopardy of losing our police escort if we can't get a big crowd for our Friday events.

Please do whatever it takes to join us this Friday at 6:30 on Lincoln Road Mall and Washington Ave. Skaters and bikes welcome.

Have you thought about joining National Skate Patrol? If you want to learn more about NSP, talk to Bernadette, Bob or any of the skaters in the bright red shirts.

See you Friday!
