Unite for Safer Streets
Join the effort to make Florida more bicycle-friendly.
Florida ranks as one of the most dangerous places for people bicycling. While we celebrate the joys of biking, we can't ignore the urgent need for safer streets. Join us as we pedal for change. Take action today:
Donate directly to our statewide effort to end distracted driving, improve on-street bicycle infrastructure, train young drivers on safety, and build more separated paths for people bicycling and walking.
Sign the petition to reduce distracted driving by requiring people to put their phones down. Hands-Free Florida is the top legislative priority of the Florida Bicycle Association.
Rate your bicycling routes and help crowdsource bicycling data by participating in the League of American Bicyclists' effort to #MakeEveryRideCount.
Our mission: make 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.
