Since the onset of COVID-19, bicycle sales have soared across Florida. Owners of Just Riding Along (JRA) Bicycle Company in Fort Myers told WINK News they have never been busier, but some riders are afraid of sharing the roads with other vehicles.

Fort Myers personal injury lawyers say Fort Myers has added trails and bike lanes, but the last time they created a bike plan was in 2007.

David Williams, co-owner of JRA Bicycle Company, said, “There are a lot of really good paths, and they have gotten better. They are just not all connected to each other yet and that’s the biggest issue, is connecting some of these great trails that have been developed in the last 10 years or so.”

The City of Fort Myers reports it developed the 2007 plan “as a multi-purpose plan intended to provide an interconnected network for non-motorized transportation, wildlife, and recreation in a manner sensitive to the needs of various user groups, the natural and built environments, and constraints of management, maintenance, and funding capabilities.”

The City of Fort Myers wants a 2020 updated plan to improve mobility and further connectivity in order to have a better bicycle-pedestrian network. It requested the public’s input through a survey in May and held a Zoom workshop at the end of July. The details of the approved updated plan will be forthcoming.
