BROWARD COUNTY, FL – When a week’s worth of events proved popular with the public in 2007, the organizers of Bicycle Week expanded it to Bicycle Month the following year. Florida Bicycle Month 2020 now includes programs and events from March 1st through 31st. The purposes of this special month are 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.

Bicycle Month 2019 is made possible by Broward County and participating municipalities, along with AvMed, Broward B-cycle, the Broward Metropolitan Planning Organization, the Florida Department of Transportation, Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, the Recyclable Bicycle Exchange, and South Florida Commuter Services. Together these organizations have committed to hosting bicycle rodeos, recreational rides, bike-to-work challenges, nature bike hikes, lunchtime rides, bicycle scavenger hunts, and tandem rides for the visually impaired. Times, fees, locations, and registration requirements vary. Our Website features a calendar detailing the month’s activities.
