The A.R.T. (Alliance for Responsible Transportation) is a grassroots, all-volunteer organization that promotes bicycling and walking as viable forms of transportation in Sarasota and the surrounding areas. They accomplish this through education, events, and advocacy. The A.R.T. has also developed Sarasota's first Bicycle Suitability Map, allowing cyclists to see the relative safety and accessibility of bike lanes, sidewalks and multi-use trails in Sarasota County.
Check out the photographs from their "SRQ on 2" rides - a series of 4 weekly bike rides designed to get you comfortable with biking around Sarasota, with each succesive ride covering a longer distance. Ride highlights included a trip over the John Ringling Causeway and out to Lido Key, a ride out to Jessica's Stand and Organic Farm, and the finale ride to Turtle Beach on Siesta Key.
