Monthly Bike Tours

It’s no fiction, the literary history of Coral Gables includes book shops, libraries and even a few writers. Mitch Kaplan, the owner of Books & Books, will lead the first edition of this novel tour of the written word in Coral Gables.

Celebrate the magnificent Flame Tree on this tour of our best Royal Poincianas in full flower. Presented with the Tropical Flowering Tree Society as part of the annual Royal Poinciana Fiesta festival. Presented in partnership with the Dade Heritage Trust.

Enjoy a leisurely ride down some the Gables’ shadiest streets! On this tour, guided by a local expert, you will learn about the lush treescape that makes Coral Gables the “City Beautiful”. We will still be able to enjoy the Royal Poincianas in full bloom! Qué bonitas!

We will ride to the Gifford Arboretum, a botanical garden located on the UM Campus, where we will view some of the over 500 species of trees and palms. This is the perfect shady destination for an August bicycle ride.

On this tour we will be traveling into space. Open space. The founders of Coral Gables knew that people want safe, beautiful places to be outside and to get close to nature. Come with us to visit some of the oldest and newest spaces in the City.

Join us as we take a ghoulish tour through the Pinewood cemetery, the oldest cemetery south of the Miami River and the final resting place of many of Dade County’s earliest pioneer settlers. This spooky cemetery features original tombstones and unmarked graves from early Florida pioneer times amidst a beautiful pine rock land habitat. Zombie attire encouraged!

We will take advantage of cooler weather to take this long ride to Camp Mahachee, a Girl Scout Camp in beautiful hammock near Matheson Hammock and Fairchild Garden. Our guide will take us a tour of the property and share the history and the plans for wonderful property.

Get into the spirit! On this ride we visit the Gables’ most festive holiday decorations including Merrick Park, Biltmore Way, Coral Gables Methodist Church, and the Coral Gables Merrick House.
