MTB it is flatter than flat and i don`t like cycling on American roads . I stayed not far from here and cycled around here it is well marked and goes east and west from the old train yard. http://www.bikeflorida.net/west_orange_trail.htm.

American drivers are crap, especially the further south you get - stay in the theme parks...

Hi ive done quite a few of the trails near Orlando. If you only do 1 ride I suggest you do the Van Fleet trail. Its an old railway line and is about 20 miles long with only 1 bend. Its not boring, massive spiders, snakes and loads of tortoises wandering across the path. Its really safe tho.

If you want bike info the Van Fleet trail has a website. The Orange Cycles store near Orlando has good local info too. I think they do bike hire, you could always email them.
