Last week we had quite a lively conversation about biking and e-biking on Estero Boulevard on the Beach Talk Radio Facebook page. This Tuesday at 9AM, the Public Safety Committee will be discussing the town’s messaging about bike safety.
The rules on Fort Myers Beach now state that only pedal bikes are allowed on sidewalks. Any battery-powered bike is prohibited on sidewalks. It does not matter if you’re pedaling without power because that’s impossible for law enforcement to determine from a vehicle.
The biggest challenge for anyone on any kind of a bike is the stretch of Estero Boulevard from Red Coconut to Times Square where there is no bike lane.
The Public Safety Committee will discuss all of this Tuesday at 9AM. The meeting will be held at the town hall trailers where everyone has 3 minutes to speak during public comment. We will also carry the meeting live on our Facebook page and YouTube Channel.
