Cycling in Florida

Has any body got any experience or advice on routes and bike hire, we will be staying Orlando for 2 weeks so need to get a cheeky ride in one day, I don’t mind if its MTB or Road

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.

Next thread what hand gun for Florida road ride?

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.

I’m going next year and thinking about the vortex trail at the Santos trail system.loads of video on YouTube or info at omba.org
