Biking in South Florida is dangerous. Given what we see in the news cycle on an almost daily basis down here, that can be said flatly. Hell, last year cyclists riding down the Rickenbacker Causeway were shot in the leg and back by teenagers armed with BB-Guns. So, after a...
Officers from the Fort Lauderdale Police Department started following alongside the city's Critical Mass in May. To say the event didn't go well would be an understatement.
