Where did you get that information? It is wrong (see below). What book or website or official is providing misinformation?


Florida law states:
- Depending on the width of the lane, bicyclists may have the right to the whole lane: 316.2065(5)(a)3. Most (all?) roads around the Villages are of "substandard" width.
- Cyclists may not ride *more* than two abreast: 316.2065(6)(a)
