dplars - I don't believe you have ever observed the gaggle of bicycle riders called a club who occasionally tour the historic neighborhoods en masse. Not one of them 'rolls through a stop sign' or goes '5mph' at any time other than when coming to a stop in a pool parking lot! From the vantage point on my lanai I observe them ride 2/3/4/ abreast down the street and then turn left - without stopping at the stop sign - as a swarm of humanity. They demonstrate no concept of avoiding a challenge with a car or a cart; nor do they demonstrate concern for same.
