As has been already pointed out, most of the roads in The Villages are substandard width and cannot accommodate a car and a bike with the required 3 feet of clearance. Bikes have just as much of a right to the road as cars. Why you would choose to argue this fact is still beyond me. Most cyclists own cars so they are paying for the roads. Does this clear things up for you?
