We travel form WI every year in March to bike many of Flordia's great trails. After several years of excellent rides on the Pinellas Trail, we finally experienced the hazards of an urban trail. Four teens entered the trail in fornt of us, and riding side by side started running everyone off the trail. After several miles we attempted to pass, because they were going very slow. At that point they attempted to crash both my wife and I. They tried to knock us off our bikes, and threatened us for over a mile, before we left the trail for safety. This happened just south of Tarpon Springs. We won't be returning to this trail!

We loved the Pinellas Trail so much we are returning two weeks after our first roundtrip tour from Gulfport to Dunedin. We have set aside three days and look forward to exploring more spurs and more of the area, including Tarpon Springs and returning to Honeymoon Island State Park and its white, sugar-sand beaches. We greatly appreciate the courtesy shown to cyclists by motorists and the foresight in building and maintaining this user friendly corridor. The small printed triptik-like map provided free of charge by Pinellas County Planning Dept was mailed to us and was invaluable. I look forward to the day when Miami-Dade uses old rail beds to create something similar.
