Flags on Bikes

Question

Stephen asked: Is a florescent safety flag required on recumbent bicycles? We have required lighting for evening rides.

Answer

There is no state requirement for flags on bicycles or other human powered vehicles. There may be a local ordinance that requires additional equipment. You can find local ordinances in the Muni Codes for your community. For example, to find the local ordinances for St. Augustine, search on “St. Augustine FL Muni Codes”.
