But don't be intimidated. You don't have to be a professional cyclist to join the group. Many of their members are just looking for more environmentally-friendly transportation options. Increasingly, Emerge Miami has also put together hip outings, including a bike prom a few months back, and regular graffiti tours (see event list below for the next one). In celebration of Bike Month, cyclists will gather Wednesday May 19 for a Ride of Silence, a free ride that asks its cyclists to ride no faster than 12 mph and remain silent during the ride. The ride will show support for those who have been injured of killed in a bike, and will raise awareness about the cyclists' legal right to the roads. The group will meet at 6:30 p.m. at the Miami Seaquarium. Here are other upcoming Emerge Miami events: Ride of Silence 6 p.m., Wednesday, May 12. Meet at the Miami Seaquarium, 4400 Rickenbacker Causeway Visit the event meetup page for more information Graffitti Bike Tour- Celebrate Miami's street art. 10 a.m., Saturday May 22 Meet at the Allapattah Metro-Rail Station, 3501 NW 12th Avenue Visit the event page for more information.

My first home-grown tomatoes are now ready to eat, so I decided to also pick some fresh basil from the garden and make a delicious Caprese salad. Many people wonder what's the difference between a regular tomato and organic or homegrown tomato, and they are surprised to hear that regular tomatoes are picked green and ripen artificially with a gas called ethylene when they are closer to their point of sale location. Not only is that gas unnecessary in your food, but when tomatoes ripe naturally, they get to develop much more flavors thanks to the nutrients it receives from the soil, water and sun. Organic tomatoes have a more earthy taste, whereas conventional tomatoes tend to have a more plain flavor.]]> http://theecozine.com/2010/05/ediblegarden1/feed/ 0 http://theecozine.com/2010/04/beccascupcakes/ http://theecozine.com/2010/04/beccascupcakes/#comments Sun, 25 Apr 2010 19:56:55 +0000 Maria http://theecozine.com/?p=2690 http://theecozine.com/2010/04/beccascupcakes/feed/ 3 http://theecozine.com/2010/04/earthday-2/ http://theecozine.com/2010/04/earthday-2/#comments Sat, 24 Apr 2010 03:46:57 +0000 Maria http://theecozine.com/?p=2633 http://theecozine.com/2010/04/earthday-2/feed/ 0
