In Miami and Miami Beach, CitiBike offers self-service bike rentals, a system similar to what Velib can offer in Paris for example. Cycling is really the ideal means of transportation to get around Miami Beach, a pedestrian and bicycle road runs along the beach from north to south and there are many bicycle paths on the other routes.

After discovering this article, Digidom kindly proposes to the readers of this article a 20% discount code on their services. You must contact them by e-mail (support AT digidom POINT pro) indicating that you come from the blog “around the world 5 continents”. For several years, I used the services of ABC Liv for the domiciliation of my company. In addition to the simple direct debit service, ABC Liv received and forwarded my mail. I was satisfied with the service but I was a little annoyed by their policy of automatically increasing the rate every year. The rate that was very competitive when the contract was signed was becoming less…
