Other areas on the other hand either have no lanes, or the small 3-foot wide "shoulder" style lanes that are essentially just move the white line a few feet over.

Orlando has a fair amount of cyclists in small areas, but very few in relation to population. Finding someone who commutes more than 2-3 miles by bicycle is pretty rare (sans-students) and most cyclists from my experience stick to the trails and away from the street. This is a combination of poorly designed roads, and poorly kept roads.

The "Bike Bus" has been the one progressive thing I've seen in the area in recent years. While it is still relatively new, it is definitely doing a fair job of teaching drivers how to handle encounters with cyclists on non-bike-friendly roads.
