Скачать или смотреть Road Bike Ride Ambience: Linear Trail to Colonial Blvd, SR 82, 41 - Fort Myers, Florida USA

Florida consistently ranks as one of the most dangerous states in the country for cyclists, and that reality is never far from my mind when I ride.

This video captures my road and linear trail ride out to Colonial Blvd and State Road 82. It is a stretch that blends paved path with open roadway — peaceful in moments, exposed in others. The rhythm of the pedals, the hum of tires on asphalt, the shift from trail to traffic — it is all part of the experience of riding here.

Cycling in Florida requires awareness, resilience, and a deep respect for the risks that come with sharing space with vehicles. Every mile is intentional. Every intersection demands focus.

Still, there is something powerful about choosing to ride. The freedom. The strength. The quiet determination to keep showing up on two wheels, even in a place where the statistics are sobering.

Ride alert. Ride strong.
