The website and DVD show lots of cycling. Is the bicycle club pretty active and friendly? What's the riding like?

How are the different clubs about letting people come in and trying out new things to see if they like it?
9 winters in Sarasota all I did was golf; wife didn't have too much to do. Sold there & bought in TV and she has plenty to do here.

Surprise is that I am not golfing very much here....so much else to do....
...found Pickleball, which is a short court paddle game that provides this heavy old guy some much needed good exercise, plus other activiites and clubs that take my time up.

There has to be a club or sport or two here for you. Everyone is very open to letting new members in...just a few clubs to large for more members.

Here is a link to the list of villages clubs, all 81 pages, 20-25 clubs per page:

Come'on down....you'll have a great time here.
