[QUOTE=golfing eagles;1297681]You are correct:
From Florida statute 316.2065:
(9) A person propelling a vehicle by human power upon and along a sidewalk, or across a roadway upon and along a crosswalk, has all the rights and duties applicable to a pedestrian under the same circumstances.
(10) A person propelling a bicycle upon and along a sidewalk, or across a roadway upon and along a crosswalk, shall yield the right-of-way to any pedestrian and shall give an audible signal before overtaking and passing such pedestrian.
Well,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, It seems it is best for bicycle riders to be very cautious. We do the sidewalks when we can see far ahead, and there are no pedestrians to disturb in their walking. We play it safe and do not want to offend anyone. Bikers can be smart, try to not cause this to be a problem, do not bike in congested areas, do not cruise close to any person, be kind and do not cause a disturbance. Now, if only the cart drivers would do the same and try to consider the bike persons. On a cart path, I give the carts a wide berth, a clear sign that they can pass, the rear view mirror will show this clearly. If we all work together, there will be less problems. I have had many cart drivers say thanks and wave as they pass me, and then there are those who seem to think the cart path is their private domain. Try not to bike near the end of the sacred happy hours. Good luck and be good.
