Commuters
What’s not to love about bicycling to work? It's certainly cheaper than driving your car, and when the weather is right, you can enjoy fresh air and a peaceful breeze. Best of all, it’s an easy and relaxing way to stay healthy. But, being a good cyclist means knowing the rules of the road and obeying traffic laws, many of which are in place to protect you from motorists. The Florida Department of Transportation has online brochures that cover all the important information about bicycle safety. The brochures can be viewed here. Commuter Services of North Florida also offers courses on bicycle safety. (See links on right for upcoming classes.)
