DeBary named Bike Friendly Community of the Year by nonprofit
DeBary, the only location where three of Central Florida s major trails converge, has been named the Bike Friendly Community of the Year by the Florida Bike Association. The city is becoming a mecca for cyclists, serving as a trail hub for the St. Johns River-to-Sea Loop, the Coast-to-Coast Connector, the Lake Monroe Loop and the Heart of Florida regional SUN Trail, Becky Afonso, the nonprofit s executive director, said. It is especially noteworthy that the city established a mobility plan with connections that are bicycle- and pedestrian-friendly.
DeBary was nominated for the annual award by Maggie Ardito, co-founder, president and director of the St. Johns River-to-Sea Loop Alliance.
