Bicycles and Pedestrians

Performing a beneficial function in the City’s transportation system, bicycling offers an inexpensive and efficient alternative to the automobile. Increased bicycle commuting reduces congestion on our overburdened transportation network, while reducing production of carbon monoxide and other ozone depleting emissions. Bicycling also plays a major role in satisfying the community’s recreational needs. The City appreciates the benefits of bicycling and realizes the importance of providing a safe network of facilities for bicycle travel. To this effect, Orlando prides itself on the progress it has made as a Bicycle Friendly Community. The City’s improvements are based on the 5 “E’s”:
