Our Mission: To inspire and support people and communities to enjoy greater freedom and well-being through bicycling.
Our Vision: We envision a state where people of all ages see bicycling as an enjoyable, practical and safe activity and transportation option, and where all who lawfully use the roadways, motorists and bicyclists alike, respect and appreciate each other’s use.
Our Purpose:
- To be a powerful, influential organization that protects and advances the interests of bicyclists
- To educate bicyclists, pedestrians and motorists about safely sharing roadways and paths
- To be a voice for the needs of bicyclists
- To encourage the creation of great on-road and off-road places to ride
- To provide a statewide communications network for bicyclists
- To encourage more people to bicycle more often
FBA is supported by membership dues and grants for safety education and both bicyclist and motor vehicle driver awareness programs. At our annual meeting each fall, we recognize people, communities and agencies around the state for their outstanding contributions to a bicycle friendly Florida.
