Employer Cooperation and Support. All bicycle commuters, especially all-weather commuters, need the support and cooperation of their employers. This includes providing such amenities as all-weather bicycle parking or storage facilities, showers and changing rooms. If adequate bicycle parking facilities are unavailable, employers should allow bicycle commuters to store the bikes in the building or in their office. Serious bicycle commuters invest significant amounts of money on their bicycles.
Bicycle commuters fare best when they act and are treated as drivers of vehicles.
In fact, under Florida law, the bicycle, albeit human-powered, is a vehicle. Thus it is entitled to the full use of public roads. This includes riding on the right side of the road in the flow traffic, obeying all traffic signs and signals, and signaling turns. And in case you did not know, bicyclists also have a right to use the whole of a lane from which they are making a left turn. Unfortunately, too many bicyclists do not follow the rules, thus making their behavior unpredictable.
