Does The Villages prohibit biking on the sidewalk? I wouldn't bike on the sidewalk in the squares. It's way too busy.

This is all I could find about biking on the sidewalk.
The 2014 Florida Statutes

(9) A person propelling a vehicle by human power upon and along a sidewalk, or across a roadway upon and along a crosswalk, has all the rights and duties applicable to a pedestrian under the same circumstances.
(10) A person propelling a bicycle upon and along a sidewalk, or across a roadway upon and along a crosswalk, shall yield the right-of-way to any pedestrian and shall give an audible signal before overtaking and passing such pedestrian.
