That's gonna be tough, I also ride mountain bikes and to be honest I don't think you'll be able to easily carry a full-sized semi-auto. For one, I know the trails in Florida aren't as rough as they are here in Texas (where everything seems to be rock); but there is still a good chance that you and your weapon will be bouncing around quite a bit, which means there is a liklihood it can be knocked loose. Secondly, the risk of falling have to be considered.
All that said, I think the best option would be a fanny pack especially made to carry a handgun. I have one and whereas I won't wear it in public (too obvious, who wears fanny packs in the US anymore?), I don't think it would stand out too bad on a mountain bike. As long as it is a sturdy one, you should be OK. I believe any other holster would just be a bad idea, and bike jerseys are too light to be able to handle such a heavy object well. Plus, as the jerseys I have are pretty tightly fitted, there is a strong chance that the weapon will print and it will be quite obvious to what it is.
Just some thoughts, let us know what you decide.
Cheers! M2
