Where are the trails, and would you recommend her living here if biking is so important to them? [Full disclosure, they’re also considering Hilton Head, which does have bike trials, so I’ve heard]
Thank-you for your input!

The Villages multi modal paths are likely hundreds of miles of interconnected pavement and are great for biking but care must be shown to coexist with walkers, pets, golf cars etc... Also they frequently cross roads. For more of a pure bike trail experience (paved and unpaved) there are many Florida trails, with trailheads in Inverness and Ocala as some of the closest. Leesburg has short trails as well. Review websites like floridahikes.com.
Many old threads about biking in TV here tho they usually devolve into walkers vs. bikers or drivers vs. bikers but that is the way of the internet. I recall reading TV was considering connecting to one of larger FL trail systems but best to wait and see as plans change.
