In response to requests from the Alachua County Traffic Courts and local law enforcement, the North Central Florida Safety Council has developed a Bicycle Traffic Safety School.
Why take a bike Safety Course?
Certainly, the simple answer is: to be a safer cyclist! Anybody may take the course.
If you have received a bicycle moving citation, you may take this two-hour course. If you present proof of completing this course to the Clerk of the Court within 30 days of receipt of your ticket, the fine for the ticket will be waived. This is a one-time option, and available for any bicycle ticket received within Alachua County.
The course includes:
- Florida laws as they apply to bicycles
- Bicycle safety and security

In an effort to make bike helmets available to every citizen of North Central Florida, the North Central Florida Safety Council has high quality, stylish Bell bike helmets available to any individual at the price of $9.50 each. These can be purchased at the Safety Council, 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Periodically, the Safety Council receives grants to provide free bike helmets to children in need. These helmets are provided at events to targeted groups. If you represent a group in need, please call (352) 377-2566 or 1-800-791-7888, or e-mail the Programs Manager to inquire about setting up an event for your group.
