Florida Bike Laws

Florida's bicycle laws are similar to most other states, and easy to learn and obey. Nationally, only about 30 percent of bicycle injuries treated in emergency rooms involve collisions with motor vehicles and fewer than one in 700 bicycle injuries is fatal.  In 70 percent of police-reported bicycle-motor vehicle crashes, the cyclists involved had violated traffic rules.  Download this brochure and know the rules.

Always remember,  even if you're obeying the rules, you need to watch for vehicles.  Being right doesn't make up for being dead.
