Florida Bike Safety, Rules, and Information
Here is an overview of information you need to understand before 30A bike riding. Please observe local legislation, posted signs, and the state’s general guidelines. Know your legal rights and duties when bicycling in Florida for a safe and happy time.
- Bicycles are defined as vehicles and generally have the same rights and responsibilities as motor vehicle drivers.
- When cyclists ride on sidewalks, they are considered pedestrians.
- Bicyclists under the age of 16 must wear a properly fastened bike helmet.
- After dark, a bicycle must shine a front white light visible from 500 feet away and a rear red reflector and light visible from 600 feet away.
- Bikes are permitted on sidewalks in most areas, but they must yield to the right-of-way of any pedestrians.
- Cyclists must give an audible signal before overtaking and passing pedestrians. “On your right/left” is an excellent verbal cue.
- Cyclists on the road must ride in a single file line.
- Cyclists in a bike land can ride two abreast if both fit in the bike lane.
- Bike riders are required to slow down and come to a complete stop at stop signs and other red traffic signals.
- Cyclists must look back, signal, and yield to traffic before turning, changing lanes, or stopping.
- Children under four years old or under 40 pounds must be secured in a seat, carrier, backpack, or sling.
- Bike riders may wear earbuds or headphones in one ear only. (Hearing aids and instruments for the hard of hearing or deaf do not apply.)
