I read the statutes on bike riding that was marked from a previous post. There was a lot of information in the rules that I didn't know being new to Florida. There were several rules that is more lenient for the cyclist than where I came from. I didn't see anything about wearing EAR BUDS while riding a bike. I'm not talking about the giant earmuffs like the older generation retirees wear. iPhone ear buds lets a person hear everything that is going around them. Provided that person isn't already half deaf anyway.
Before the hard core posters jump all over this, I want to say that I ride usually by myself. I ride about two hours a day on trails when available. I yield to carts. Ride to the right so carts can pass all the time. In the six months that I have been here, I have not had a negative situation but many positives ones while riding my bicycle. I've had carts and car yield to me many times when it wasn't required and vice versa.

Now I will get the out and wait.
