The Friends of A1A has produced six new videos designed to attract more cycling visitors to the 72-mile Scenic & Historic A1A Coastal Byway that travels through St. Johns and Flagler counties and includes one of the few routes in Northeast Florida in which bicyclists can cruise along the Atlantic Ocean and have a direct view of the water.

The videos, which were produced through financial assistance from Visit Florida to promote safety along A1A, features numerous cycling routes, off-road trails, historical areas and scenic vistas to assist bicyclists in their journey.

The Friends of A1A Scenic & Historic Coastal Byway is a non-profit organization that protects, preserves and enhances resources along the A1A National Scenic Byway. This citizen’s advocacy group collaborates with municipalities, governmental agencies and other civic groups to maintain and improve resources along the A1A corridor.

All of the cycling videos can be viewed on YouTube and are less than three minutes in length.
