MIAMI (WSVN) - The Miami-Dade and Key Biscayne police departments led a cycling safety ride on the Rickenbacker Causeway.

This chaperoned trip was the first of four scheduled rides that began Tuesday morning.

Officers accompanied riders as they made safe U-turns at the Calusa Circle.

A protected lane has also been set up from the Calusa Circle to the toll plaza.

The pilot program follows a demand for change after a deadly crash back in May when two cyclists tragically lost their lives after getting struck by a car.
