Welcome and congratulations on your first TOTV post!

My wife and I ride throughout most of TV, often, on our recumbent trikes. In addition, the Lake Sumter Landing Bike club now has a trike group that rides together on Mondays in TV. In the 6 years that I have been riding here I have never had a problem being seen. The key is to take steps (good lighting and flags) and using common road wary riding sense. In addition to riding in TV, our location is convenient to many bike specific paved trails within an hour, or so, drive. Come on down and enjoy the ride!
