BIKING IN ORLANDO BACKGROUND:  
Since 2003, Mayor Dyer has helped transform Orlando’s urban environment by investing in bike amenities, including the bike share program, bike repair stations, green bike lanes, trail crossings, and improving connectivity through projects such as the Downtown Loop and Orlando Bicycle Plan Update. 

Today Orlando, a Bronze-Level Bicycle Friendly Community, is home to more than 360 miles of off-street trails, signed routes and bicycle lanes.
