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)

Sorry but it comes direct from the Florida statute. Here is the link or just google the citation.

There is a lot of misinformation out there but this is not. Here is what I put together:
I already gave you the rule pedestrians, walkers and runners are required to use sidewalks, if available.
I think I have a good understanding and wanted to confirm my review. Please let me know if anything I say is wrong.
Vehicle is a cart, car, motorcycle or moped.
Roadway is from yellow line to white line.
White line to curb is paved shoulder or berm.
There are no bike lanes where I live so I ride on paved berm or shoulder.
Vehicles must operate within roadways and not on the paved shoulder or berm. Pedestrians, walkers and runners are not allowed on the road or paved shoulder if sidewalk available.
Carts are prohibited from operating on sidewalks.
Bikes may operate on sidewalks, roadways or on paved shoulders unless required to only use a marked bike lane..
Please share the road and use common sense. Nothing in the law should be relied on when lives are at stake.
Avoid the risk of collision and, if you are not sure, assume there is a risk.
