South Florida’s climate, and particularly in the western reaches of Broward County, provide an unusually conducive venue for biking enthusiasts. Whether we are referring to our children’s needs to enjoy themselves, ride for pleasure, socialize with other children, get to and from school, assist with shopping or chores, getting to sporting activities; whether it be in the subdivisions of Weston, Florida, Pembroke Pines, Florida, Southwest Ranches, Florida, Plantation and Plantation Acres, Florida and the like; or whether we are an adult enthusiast who rides for skill, the challenge, athletic achievement and the like, there are few places as conducive to the use of bicycles as South Florida.

Unfortunately, accelerated transportation by the use of a bicycle exposes the rider to the risks of the road, whether it be from riding on streets, roadways or along busy avenues and thoroughfares, or the exposure to neighborhood traffic, busy school areas or motorists entering to and from their driveways - bicyclists are at risk.

A nationally recognized study by the organization entitled Right of Way has determined that while investigating police agencies throughout the country try to associate blame on the cyclists, in 75% of cycling deaths, according to Right of Way, over 90% of cyclists deaths (in one local) are the fault of motor vehicle drivers.

In another nationally released study it was determined that 3 our of 4 at fault drivers were never even cited for causing injuries to cyclists; and that 22% of fatal pedestrian crashes involved hit and run drivers. In fact, a statistical study has revealed that 74% of drivers who are at fault in killing pedestrians and cyclists did not even get a ticket.
