Jacksonville’s Beaches are a popular place for people to ride bicycles. However, there are not well defined bicycle lanes and many of the sidewalks do not have curbcuts allowing for bicylists to stay on sidewalks. Compounding this problem is that the beaches are also a popular place for consuming alchol and there is a lot of vehicle traffic. Sadly, these types of accidents can result.
