Make sure your tires are ready! March is Bicycle Month in the state of Florida!
Every March since 2005, Broward County Parks has designated Bicycle Week, which expanded in 2008 to become Bicycle Month.
Bicycle month is designed to promote bicycle safety and education; to provide leisure and recreational bicycling opportunities for all ages and abilities; and to offer competitive/challenging cycling opportunities throughout Broward County within both the public and the private sectors.
Florida Governor Charlie Crist proclaimed March 2009 as Florida Bicycle Month.
Last year, more than 60 activities and events were held from March 1 through 31 throughout the County. Those events were made possible by Broward County and the cooperation of the Cities of Dania Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Margate, Miramar, Parkland, Plantation, Sunrise, Tamarac, Weston, and West Park.
For information about Florida Bicycle Month for March 2010, contact the program coordinator at 954-357-8801. For bicycling opportunities in the Tri-County area, visit South Florida Commuter Services.
