Bicycle Stories: Celebrating Life by Bike: Pre-dawn Bicycling In Tampa

SWFBUD Working For You

SWFBUD -- an alliance of Tampa Bay area bicycle dealers -- hires me to advocate bicycling. I work with Tampa Police Lt. John Newman to get this sign deployed with bike safety messages. Shop at SWFBUD bike stores: ABC Bicycles, Bicycle Outfitters, Carrollwood Bicycle Emporium, Chainwheel Drive, Just Ride Bicycles, Oliver's Cycle Sports, Street Fit 360, Suncoast Trailside Bicycles, Trek Bicycle Store, University Bicycle Center, The Ironman Store, Velo Champ. SWFBUD also includes three bicycle lawyer advocates -- Tom Singletary, J. Steele Olmstead and Mark Roman Law Group.

Laws For Bicycle Drivers

A cyclist not traveling as fast as the normal speed of traffic must ride as close as practicable to the right hand curb or edge of the road, EXCEPT in the following situations: 1. When passing another vehicle. 2. When making a left turn. 3. When reasonably necessary to avoid conditions such as a moving object, a parked or moving vehicle, pedestrian, animal or surface hazard. 4. When a lane is too narrow for a bicycle and another vehicle to travel safely side by side (a cyclist should maintain at least two feet of clearance from a curb or pavement edge and the minimum clearance for passing a bicylclist is three feet; a lane with less than 14 feet of usable width is usually too narrow for motor traffic to pass.)
