Cheers to the bicyclists who have apparently taken it upon themselves to open the North Point of Virginia Key -- forging trails in the backcountry of Australian Pine detritus where tons dredge material has sculpted a terrain of ledges and hills perfect to pop some wheelies.
A story this weekend in the Miami Herald states a bicycle group with a little donated cash and a lot of will power, is carving out the bike trails.
Maybe this will start a trend:
Hikers will blaze trails.
Park enthusiasts will plop down benches.
Kayakers will launch en masse - and proclaim the spot the public boat ramp.

And a public park island will emerge.
Cheers to the bicyclists. Enjoy.
And cheers to many others who find this island beautiful, rare and wild. And want to keep it that way.
Take a lead from the bicyclists and forge your own path to parkland.
It may be the only way it will happen.

But when is the rest of the public invited in? Will the bicyclists "share the road" with hikers, too?
