The Florida Bicycle Summit is Here!

Join the statewide summit November 15-17, 2024 in Central Florida. Single-day and multi-day options are available.

The Florida Bicycle Summit 2024 will focus on fostering safer, more accessible conditions for people who bicycle in the Sunshine State. This year’s theme highlights the critical role of breaking down silos in creating bike-friendly communities and how bikeable places, in turn, further dismantle barriers, fostering more connected, inclusive communities.

The summit includes two days of plenary sessions and bike rides in Winter Garden, as well as the Florida Freewheelers' Horrible Hundred cycling event and the Cycling and Fitness Expo in Clermont. The plenary sessions on Friday, Nov. 15 are geared toward planning, designing and engineering places to be more bicycle-friendly, while the sessions on Saturday, Nov. 16 are focused on advocating and educating for bike-friendliness. To receive the members-only rate, be sure you are first logged in to your membership profile.

Full Session Access (Best Value): Attend both the Friday, Nov. 15 “Planning and Designing” sessions and the Saturday, Nov. 16 "Advocating and Educating" sessions for $75 for members and $95 for non-members.

What We Do

Mobilize

The Association trains and organizes volunteers across Florida to be local advocates for good policy and to educate their neighbors and other community members on safe practices.

Educate

We offer free and paid classes and certifications to help make bicycling safer for everyone. We also conduct helmet-fitting events, share best practices, and promote bike-friendliness.

Advocate

Florida Bicycle’s staff and board members speak on behalf of the membership at the local, state and federal level to promote policies, projects and programs that support bicycling.

Assist

We provide direct assistance to residents, technical practitioners, government staff, consultants and others to help them evaluate and decide on policies and designs that are best for bicyclists.

We help “connect the dots” by connecting people with resources. Glossaries, information about government agencies, interesting stories and contact information for other organizations are amassed in our Resources section.

We are here to help make Florida more bike-friendly, and that starts by helping you. Let’s find the program you need.
