You cannot be slow as they pick up all the runners still out there, so they can open it back within the two hours........bridge only gets closed for 2 hours...
It would be cool if Florida would also consider having a Seven Mile Bicycle Parade where entrants over 12 years of age can leisurely ride the entire seven mile span on ANY non-motorized, human pedal powered TWO WHEELER or THREE WHEELER......
I think that's a great idea. If they can close the bridge for two hours to let people run across it, they could also close it for an hour to let people cycle across it. Even the most leisurely rider should be done in an hour.
