From The Director’s Desk
As the year begins, so does the legislative session in Florida. A bill has been proposed that would fundamentally change how certain high-powered electric bikes are classified and who is allowed to ride them. Find out more here from our partner organization, Florida Bicycle Association, and provide feedback.
We are happy to announce that two dedicated leaders are championing the Hands-Free Florida cause. You can track the progress of the current bills by following SB 1152 and HB 1241.
