fight the ticket. It sounds like the cop doesn't know the law. I don't know the specifics of Florida traffic law, but common sense tells me if a bicycle is expected to stay on the right side of the lane, and that's where you were, you didn't violate any law. By going to court, you'll get a clarification and won't be any worse off than you are now and may possibly educate an officer. I'd bet if you were in front of a car riding on the road, the same cop would give you a ticket for obstructing traffic and tell you you should have been on the right side.
