Today was a very emotional ride talking about the Day of the dead! I am so glad we spoke about the pioneers that came before us to walk our path today! Thank you to Norton Museum of Art for this special talk!

Another successful Norton Museum of Art bike hangout! Our awesome tour guide Juan took us on a learning stroll around the Warehouse District to Down Town West Palm Beach. We learned from artist LeJobart’s kinetic art and Dudali’s sculptures. We also learned about Alexander Graham Bell from a mural by artist Tristan Eaton. Thank you all that joined us. See you all on our next ride in November. Sign up at https://www.norton.org/event-series/community-bike-tours

New Florida laws benefiting bicyclists:

Tuesday, Governor Ron DeSantis signed into law CS/SB 950. The law would:

Defines the terms “bicycle lane” and “separated bicycle lane”;
Provides requirements for a vehicle overtaking a bicycle or other non motorized vehicle, or an electric bicycle occupying the same travel lane;

Requires the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) to provide an awareness campaign regarding vehicles overtaking a bicycle, other non motorized vehicle, or an electric bicycle;

Provides that no-passing zones do not apply to drivers who safely and briefly drive to the left of center of the roadway to overtake a bicycle, other non motorized vehicle, or an electric bicycle;

Requires a vehicle making a right turn while overtaking and passing a bicycle proceeding in the same direction, to do so only if the bicycle is at least 20 feet from the intersection, and is of such a distance that the driver of a vehicle may safely turn;

Authorizes bicyclists riding in groups, after coming to a full stop, to go through an intersection in groups of 10 or fewer;

Provides riders may ride two abreast if certain conditions exist; and
Requires at least 25 questions in the test bank for the driver license test to address bicycle and pedestrian safety.

Just FYI, we offer Bicycle tours of Palm Beach, West Palm Beach. Touching on our historic neighborhoods north and south of the Downtown.
Somethings don’t have to change to have a good time on a bike.

What better way to take Palm Beach than by bicycle? The Vicious Cycle Club of Palm Beach takes to the streets circa the 1960s.⁠
