Miami definitely has had a HUGE growth in cycling and there's plenty of groups and people riding, just not a huge variety of routes. Getting some Key Biscayne loops in, is probably your best and easiest bet if you're there during the week. Heading north puts you on A1A which is rideable, but definitely gets crowded and hectic down there, and you're in traffic for most of it.

The best bridge on and off Miami Beach is the Venetian Causeway, it has a full protected bike lane in both directions. You just run down Biscayne Blvd over to the Rickenbacker causeway for Key Biscayne and you're ready for laps. There are usually plenty of cyclists running through there in the morning, and while it's urban riding to get between the Venetian and the to Rickenbacker, it's 100% better than heading north on A1A.

I'm headed down to Florida tomorrow for a few weeks and will be in Miami for at least one of the weekends in April, but we're the other direction in Coral Gables.
