MIAMI BEACH, FLA. (WSVN) - Critical Mass, a cycling event that brings locals together to ride bikes through the streets of Miami, is returning to Miami Beach this Friday.
Cyclists will be entering Miami Beach beginning around 7:15 p.m. via the 79th Street Causeway for a Miami Critical Mass event.
They will then continue riding eastbound along 71st Street, then south at Indian Creek Drive towards 63 Street. Then, they will continue south along Collins Avenue to 23rd Street, then west to Dade Boulevard.
