BIKE SAFETY

BIKING IN PALMETTO DUNES

Several miles of leisure paths are available in Palmetto Dunes. When a leisure path is available it should be used by cyclists, joggers, walkers, etc. Anyone utilizing leisure paths or streets for recreational use is urged to use extreme caution at all times, especially during the peak visitor seasons.
