For a bike-friendly Florida.
Making Florida better for people who want to bicycle and for people who need to bicycle.
The Florida Bicycle Association is a 501c3, membership-based non-profit organization.
We mobilize volunteers and partners to create change.
We advocate for good public policy and infrastructure.
We educate cyclists, drivers, and others on safe practices.
We assist communities to become more bike-friendly.
We do this work to improve public health, strengthen local economies, advance equity, and protect the environment.
We are all in … and have been for 26 years.
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.
Share
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.

Thank you to everyone who made the 2023 statewide annual bicycle-advocacy meeting a success
A group of 90 advocates and professionals working for safe and accessible bicycling came together the weekend of October 14 in Winter Garden to discuss the state’s most pressing bikeability issues as part of the Florida Bicycle Association’s annual meeting.
Participants in the half-day general meeting came from all across Florida and included community planners, non-profit leaders, elected officials, volunteers, law enforcement, business owners, government staff, engineers, health advocates, researchers and more. A small reception the prior evening also brought together organizational partners to establish new connections that will help advance their shared missions. Read more here.
Thank you to the annual-meeting sponsors!
