Bicycle and Pedestrian Program

Florida Bicycle Traffic Laws

Under Florida law, a bicycle is considered a vehicle, and is entitled to share the road with cars, trucks and other vehicles.  Therefore, those wishing to operate a bicycle should become familiar with state traffic laws that apply to bicycles.  Click here to view the State's bicycle laws.

Bicycle and Pedestrian Plans

These plans focus on the development of a network of trails, sidewalks, and bicycle lanes. The plans outline how proposed road projects could incorporate bicycle and pedestrian facilities to make Central Florida more bicyclist and pedestrian-friendly.  Click on the right to view the Existing, Funding and Prioritized Bicycle & Pedestrian Projects.

Join A Bike-Bus on October 24

As part of the 350.org's International Day of Climate Action on October 24, Florida Bicycle Association is teaming up with Central Florida VegFest to run “bike-buses” from around Orlando to the festival at Loch Haven Park. 

What is a bike-bus?  Simple: a ride leader or small group of cyclists starts at a predetermined place and time and follows a predetermined route, picking up other bicyclists along the way at “bus stops” – just as a regular bus does.

Help out by “driving” a bike-bus and show Central Florida how human power can replace fossil fuel and help cut greenhouse gas emissions.  The Florida Renewable Energy Expo will also be held on the 24th next door at the Orlando Science Center. This year’s Pedal 4 Pride ride with the Parramore Kidz Zone will be one of the bike-buses.
