For those that think Fl. is really dangerous for cyclists, that is true when you look at the statistics. There are many trails to ride on within the state. Just be careful and use some common sense. That will take care of a lot of the danger. Have ridden on roads for the last 3.5 years and done 14000 miles. Nary and accident for me as of yet. Am careful and observant of my surrounding. It could happen anytime. The only accident I have had was on a rails to trails bike path. Electrolytes got out of balance and conked me out. Woke up in the hospital.

The kids will get over it Enjoy what is left of your life. It is too short.
