Cruising Past Elephants on Urban Safari in Miami, Florida

Glide alongside gazelles, swerve around white tigers and hit the brakes to ponder the maddening ambiguity of the sloth bear. Under the roaring Florida sun, schlepping Zoo Miami’s three-mile path on foot can really take the buzz out of discovering pudgy pygmy hippos and zap you of the energy needed to hand-feed giraffes or ride a hairy camel hump. But behind the wheel of shaded Safari Cycle, you can pedal all 740 lush acres and discover (almost) all 2,000 species from Africa to Australia to the Amazon, with time and energy to spare. With pedal-power for up to four adventurers, Safari Cycles allow you to muse, as a group, “What the hell is a sloth bear?”
