Yes, I brought a bike with me. I've actually got a road bike stashed down there, but the part of Orlando where I visit is SO built up, the road riding is horrible now. I used to be able to ride for miles and miles in empty farm land and orange groves, now, I take my life into my hands as everyone is speeving, texting, and in a rush to get to one of the thousands of strip malls that now dot the landscape.
So, while the road riding is sort of a bust now, I decided to take a BMX bike. It's small, light, and can come apart and go together fairly quickly, especially since I took the bike without brakes.
Anyway, the bike comes apart, and fits easily into a duffel bag, well within the airline regulations for regular sized luggage.
I thought I had a good spot to ride, but the parking lot was garbage. I found a park near my mother's house, but every parking lot was slanted. I finally found a good spot and got a good ride in.
Nothing major occurred, and I didn't bust out anything new, but it was great to ride out in the sun for a little bit.
