Miami-Dade County is testing SiBike - a new smartphone-based bike detection system and the cycling community is invited to participate.
The first location equipped with SiBike connectivity has been installed at the intersection of Euclid Avenue and 11 Street in Miami Beach. This location is being used as a test site for this new technology.
Fill out a quick two-question survey about SiBike and submit your feedback once you’ve tested the site through a short seven-question survey.
The SiBike USA app knows where a bike rider is. As a result, the app interacts with the programmed traffic signal controller which will detect the rider approaching the intersection. Once detection is confirmed, the signal controller can facilitate a green light to the bicyclist as soon as safely possible.
