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.

Stand corrected--although I"m not certain that law is the same in every state. I know I've heard about warnings being issued here about carts on sidewalks.
