Biking in Weston: Bike Lanes, Repair Stations and Trails (2026 Guide)

Fall is a great time to get back on your bike in Weston. The mornings feel fresher, and the city is set up for riding. Weston has 51.7 miles of marked bike lanes, free bike repair stations in seven parks and lighted paths where you can roll at an easy pace.

This guide covers where to ride, where to fix a flat and the rules that keep everyone safe.

Weston’s Bike Lanes

Weston has 51.7 miles of marked bike lanes, according to the city. They help riders of every kind, from kids biking to school to groups out for a long Saturday ride.

The city also keeps a Biking in Weston page with its Bicycle Master Plan, Broward bike maps and a link to the Bike Broward trip planner. The planner lets you map a route by what you want, such as the shortest trip or the one with the least traffic.

Free FixIt Bike Repair Stations

A flat tire does not have to end your ride. Weston has FixIt Bike Repair Stations in seven city parks. Each one has tools on steel cables and an air pump. You will find Phillips and flat head screwdrivers, Allen wrenches, a headset and pedal wrench and tire levers.

You can hang your bike from the arms on the stand so the wheels and pedals spin freely while you work. A QR code on the station links to a bike repair website, and the city has video tutorials too.

Here is where to find them:

Bonaventure Park, 520 Racquet Club Road
Emerald Estates Park, 16400 Emerald Estates Drive
Gator Run Park, 1101 Park Boulevard (along Glades Parkway)
Indian Trace Park, 17998 Saddle Club Road
Library Park, 4255 Bonaventure Boulevard (along Bonaventure Boulevard)
Peace Mound Park, 1300 Three Village Road
Weston Regional Park, 20200 Saddle Club Road (near the basketball courts)

Easy Paths for Kids and Slow Rides

Not every ride needs to be long. Several city parks have lighted walkways, which are nice for little riders on training wheels or an evening spin with the family. The city lists lighted walkways at these parks:

Bonaventure Park, 520 Racquet Club Road
Eagle Point Park, 18691 North Lake Boulevard
Emerald Estates Park, 16400 Emerald Estates Drive
Gator Run Park, 1101 Park Boulevard
Library Park, 4255 Bonaventure Boulevard
Peace Mound Park, 1300 Three Village Road
Weston Regional Park, 20200 Saddle Club Road
Tequesta Trace Park, 600 Indian Trace

Library Park and Peace Mound Park also have the Weston History Walk, so you can learn a little about our city while you ride. Weston Regional Park has an exercise path. For more on what each park offers, see our guide to the best parks in Weston.

One tip for parents: the city has a rule that keeps e-bikes and e-scooters on roads and in parking areas when inside a city park. That keeps paths safer for small kids and walkers.

The New Weston North Walking Nature Trail

Weston is building its first piece of a bigger trail system. The Weston North Walking Nature Trail runs between Saddle Club Road and State Road 84. It is about 1.75 miles long and 6 feet wide, with a firm surface made for walking, running and biking.

The trail will have ten exercise stations along the way. Dogs are welcome on a leash, and no motor vehicles of any kind are allowed.

There is no parking lot at the trail. The city says you can park at Indian Trace Park and take a short warm up walk to the trailhead. The city’s latest update said the work should be done in early fall 2026, so check the trail project page for news before you go.

The city calls this trail a first step toward a greenway system that links neighborhoods and parks. The goal is to make it easier to reach a park or a friend’s house without a car.

Riding in a Group

Group rides are popular in Weston because of our long roads. The city asks groups to follow a few simple rules:

Stop at every stop sign and red light. Lead riders should stop in the right lane without taking up the whole lane.
Talk to each other. Use hand signals and warn riders behind you about holes or other hazards.
Ride two across only when it is safe. Florida law lets cyclists ride two abreast unless they block traffic. On a two lane road with steady oncoming cars, ride single file or split into smaller groups.
Stay to the right. Ride in the bike lane, or to the right of the road when there is no bike lane.

Pace lines are for experienced riders only. Always check for traffic before you change lanes or move up in the group.

Safety Rules Every Rider Should Know

These come from Florida law and the City of Weston:

Helmets: Riders and passengers under 16 must wear a helmet that fits and is buckled. The city says to wear one at any age.
Lights: Between sunset and sunrise, your bike needs a white front light you can see from 500 feet. It also needs a red rear light and a red reflector you can see from 600 feet. This matters more now that it gets dark earlier.
Sidewalks: On a sidewalk or crosswalk, give the right of way to people walking. Ring a bell or call out before you pass.
No earbuds: The city asks riders to skip earbuds so they can hear traffic.

E-Bikes and E-Scooters

E-bikes are everywhere in Weston. Under Florida law, they have the same rights and duties as regular bikes. That means you can ride them on roads, bike lanes, bike paths and sidewalks, and you must follow every traffic law.

A few things to know:

Riders on e-bikes and e-scooters must yield to people walking and give a signal when passing them.
They must come to a full stop at stop signs.
In city parks, e-bikes and e-scooters must stay on roads and in parking areas.
An e-moto or electric dirt bike with no pedals is not an e-bike under Florida law. It cannot be ridden on sidewalks, and it needs a license and registration to be on public streets.

The city also shares battery safety tips. Do not charge an e-bike overnight or leave it alone while it charges. Use the cord that came with it, keep batteries out of direct sun and stop using a battery that gets hot, smells odd or changes shape. Read more on the city’s E-Bike and E-Scooter Safety page.

Watch for Lightning Horns

South Florida storms can pop up fast. Weston has a lightning warning system at Tequesta Trace Park, Vista Park and Weston Regional Park. One loud horn blast means everyone should get to shelter. Three short blasts mean all clear.

Want to Ride Farther?

Ready for dirt instead of pavement? Markham Park, a Broward County park at 16001 W. State Road 84 in Sunrise, has mountain bike trails. It sits right at the edge of the Everglades, close to Weston.

You can also take your bike on the bus. Every Broward County Transit bus has a bike rack, and bikes ride free. For a bigger adventure, our best day trips from Weston guide includes the Shark Valley loop at Everglades National Park, which you can ride by bike.

Bringing your dog along for a walk instead? The city’s Paws in the Parks map shows where leashed dogs are welcome. Here is our story on that map.
