Biking Cedar Key, Florida

Yesterday we biked 13 miles through Cedar Key, traveling nearly every street in the town. Cedar Key is actually several islands (keys) connected by bridges, so we biked three or four different keys on the route. Below are some of the sights we encountered. Like many coastal communities, electric golf carts are prevalent, and hence this sign...


The bridges to the key with the airport had a couple fishermen, and they were being carefully watched by this Great Blue Heron, which basically was begging for food, a successful ploy...



Three planes were parked along the single runway, and Ellen claimed this beauty as hers...



This classic Edsel was parked alongside a residential road in a color I don't believe I've seen before...


One surprise to us was the number of hills (albeit short ones) we encountered while biking these ocean-front keys, giving us a decent workout despite the short mileage. We had spent the day swapping out old furniture for new furniture and getting all organized, and it felt good to get outdoors, enjoy the 80 degree day, and bike the town.
