I believe that there is no better way to get to know a new city than to know it by bicycle.
In Florida, by riding a bicycle you can see the state better and feel the breath of refreshing ocean wind.
Riding a bicycle for me allows me to see more unique places, which are hidden from tourists.
Don’t you agree that cycling is romantic, eco-friendly and affordable?
Whether you just want to try the sport for fun or ride a challenging route to show off, then Florida is the place to do this.
The options for bicycles in Florida are countless.
So now put on your helmet and let’s learn
why Florida earned a reputation as the best cities for cycling =)…
What is the Most Bike Friendly City in Florida?
Miami.
There
are a lot of bicycles which are signs of the city’s well-being
.
Miami
is a bike friendly city in Florida.
Thanks to the climate in Miami and the surrounding area, 365 days a year, there is the opportunity to ride a bicycle.
It is a city where cycling is safe, where children can get to school on their own.
Although, the USA is still far behind Europe in bicycle friendly cities and also in securing the right of city dwellers to ride a bicycle.
Today the USA is making up for lost time.
10 years ago,
the League of American Bicyclists
held its first national summit with 100 people in attendance.
Nowadays the National Bike Summit brings together more than a thousand participants.
DecoBike Rent in Florida
Is Florida Bicycle Friendly?
At DecoBike street rental points, you can easily rent a bike for an hour, for a day.
I used it quite often, each time I returned from
night parties
and this added even more impressions and memories to my holiday.
Be careful with DecoBike and check the amount they take after using a bike.
The system periodically having some bugs so you may have to prove your case. This is exactly what happened to me:
Once I got an unexpected SMS notification about the write-off of 50 $, and then another 80 $ from a credit card… It happened because the system of DecoBike was down.
I contacted customer support and they reacted quickly.
My money was returned to my card the same day.
When you return the bike, take a picture of it so that you can see the number of the bike and the station (with a timestamp).
These photos will help you if you are suddenly charged extra money like in my case.
What City in Florida has the Best Bike Trails?
Miami,
Venice
,Cedar Key City are cities with the best bike traits.
Here the authorities build not only simple cycle paths but also bicycle highways connecting big and small centers with different suburbs, and sometimes entire regions.
In these cities , the authorities recently decided to build more developed bicycle highways.
Such bicycle highways look different in different cities.
The level of their convenience also varies from city to city.
In Florida, the target group of bicycle users is also growing: they are not only tourists now, but they are schoolchildren, and people with purchases, and office workers, and other people who ride a bicycle for practical purposes and travel quite long distances on it.
Is Florida Bicycle Friendly?
Yes, it retains its leading status by not being limited to a centralized urban cycling network.
Florida’s new cycling strategy focuses on upgrading the existing network and expanding bike highways.
