    Quick road question

    Looking to visit some peeps visiting in one of the neighboring cities in a week or so.

    Based on my average mph going to school (16mph including stop signs, stop lights etc, so prolly 20-25mph average riding speed), looks like it'll be a 2hr bike ride.

    Basically, I'm going over water and I'm sure blue is high way, so not sure if I'm able to go on that.

    Just wanted to see if either of these routes would be ok/legal to take on my bicycle

    I don't know about florida, but in California it's illegal to ride a bicycle on highways/freeways. May want to try mapquesting it and hit the option for no freeways and see what that draws up.

    Google maps has a bicycle tab for directions.

    I'm a professional cyclist.

    Unless your peeps are offering money, you wont be maintaining 25 mph for 2 hrs.

    You're nuts if you're going to ride across one of those bridges down in Tampa, average motorist speed on those is about 80MPH.

    Paid to race bicycles fast. On my solo road rides I average 25 mph, but thats with mountains thrown in the mix.

    The offering money was a Cream Soda motivational joke, I think you missed it.

    would be more motivational if his friends posted flyers about a suspect stealing bikes prior to the ride
