When planning a bike ride through the Everglades, and the multitude of trails you can get lost exploring, there are precautions you need to always take in order to come away with a truly amazing experience.

I've broken it down to a Top 10 list:

Top 10 Things You Need To Know When Biking In The Everglades

In this series I will get into as much detail as possible about landmarks, wildlife you may encounter, and most importantly, hazards you may have to deal with. This will definitely help you properly prepare for your adventure. It's broken down in no particular order since they are each independently valuable tidbits to know and that will be answered both by blog posts and videos. I'll get to show you specific places so you'll know what they look like ahead of time. While also providing you at times with a checklist, map/directions &/or tools that you can take with you for quick referencing for if or when your cell signal goes weak, which it will at times.

So without further adieu, the Top 10...drum roll please..........? chirp.

1.) Where To Ride? - Probably the most obvious question...

2.) What Type of Bicycle Do I Need? - It all really depends where you're exploring...
