The rules of the road are essentially the same for cyclists as cars. In a circumstance where a car would have the right of way, a cyclist would also. Cyclists do not need to stay on the shoulder (in fact that is a dangerous place to be) and can occupy an entire lane. There is no requirement based on posted speed. You should think of cyclists (as well as street legal golf carts) as slow moving cars.

Here is the Florida Statute.

They also don't have the right of way and need to stay on the shoulder unless they can do the posted speed limit. Bikers need to read the law. Now lets see how much controversy this starts!
