Riding tips for Orlando

Ride early in the morning during warm months, since afternoons bring heat and thunderstorms. Carry more water than you think you need, because shade is limited on many paved trails, though parts of the Orlando Southeast Trail are tree-lined. Most county trails are open sunrise to sunset. Class 1 and 2 e-bikes are allowed on county trails such as the Little Econ Greenway, Pine Hills Trail, Shingle Creek Trail and Innovation Way Trail. Wear a helmet, use a bell and call out when passing walkers, especially on busy stretches like Cady Way and the Lake Underhill Path.
