Can Florida’s drivers and cyclists truly share the road? Top of Mind Florida hosts Michael Williams and Brian Crowley talk with Mark Hassell of Bill Bone Bike Law about the growing cycling culture, the rise of e-bikes, gaps in road education, and how more cyclists are part of our transportation future.

Hassell, a former Palm Beach lifeguard turned cycling investigator, shares real-world stories from Florida’s highways and what needs to change — from law enforcement and infrastructure to driver awareness and helmet use.

Key Takeaways:

• Why Florida’s cycling laws lag behind
• What motorists and cyclists misunderstand most
• The “right-hook” crash and other common causes
