SW Florida Real Estate Insider-Biking in Fort Myers

My husband and I are occasional avid bike riders. Kind of contradictory, I know, but that seems the best way to describe us. We have a recumbant tandem (2 person bike with low reclining seats) which although low and a little hard to balance is very comfortable and we can ride all day. We hadn't used the bike in quite a while and hauled it out of the back of the garage a few weeks ago and started taking morning rides before work.

The Daniels road corridor in Fort Myers (between I-75 and 41) has a great path that runs along the North side and connects to the new 10 mile linear park and also connects to Six Mile Cypress which also has a great biking path. We can take an hour long ride in the am with some great views. If you have time for a longer ride you can do the loop from Daniels to the 10 mile linear park to Colonial Blvd, connect to Six Mile Cypress head South and Stop at the preserve for a walking tour before heading home. Florida has a great climate for year round biking and it is great exercise. We need more bikers taking advantage, we don't have near enough biking lanes in our great state and showing that we use the ones we have is the first step to getting more of them.
