For a more bicycle-friendly Florida

Help us make Florida better for people who bicycle.

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.

The Florida Bicycle Summit 2024 has wrapped! Thank you to the 120-plus people from across the Sunshine State (and a few from other states) who engaged in learning and sharing about how to foster safer, more accessible conditions for people who bicycle in Florida. The summit highlighted 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. Thank you to the sponsors, volunteers, staff, board members and participants who made it possible. We will stay connected to share ways to mobilize for change!

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.
