Before taking to the streets, there are some safety tips to keep in mind.
Bicycle Regulations
Cyclists have the same rights to the roadways and must obey the same traffic laws as drivers of motor vehicles. Riders under 16 are required to wear helmets, and bicycles must have lights after dark.
According to Florida Statute (316.2065), bicyclists (non-motorized), whether riding on a sidewalk or in a crosswalk, have "all the rights and duties applicable to a pedestrian under the same circumstances." Bicyclists should always yield to the right-of-way to any pedestrian and shall give an audible signal before overtaking and passing such pedestrians.
Weston Biking
The city of Weston has 46 miles of marked bicycle lanes throughout the city. Wherever possible, it is best to ride within these lanes while biking.
There are seven FixIT Bike Repair Stations located in convenient locations along Weston’s bike paths. Each repair station includes an air pump and the tools needed to fix the most common bicycle repairs. The Tools include Philips and flat head screwdrivers, allen wrenches, a headset & pedal wrench, and tire levers. There is even a hanger arm to place your bike on for easier access.
The FixIT Bike Repair Stations are located at:
• Bonaventure Park • Emerald Estates Park • Gator Run Park (along Glades Parkway) • Indian Trace Park • Library Park (along Bonaventure
Boulevard) • Peace Mound Park • Weston Regional Park (near basketball courts)
With wide bike lanes, excellent visibility, and flat roads, Weston is an ideal place to ride a bike. What are you waiting for? Hit the road!
