[QUOTE=LitespeedRider;1319167]The other day in Publix I had a woman explain to me that she had to move to TV because she is legally blind and lost her drivers license...but here, she can drive a cart and just pulls over for a few minutes when things get too blurry....comforting...

It is indeed sad that we have this opportunity to be safe, to obey rules to enjoy retired life, and to respect others, but we also have this brutal approach of "I do not like bikes on the MMPs, I do not like carts or bikes that are not going at top speed." Gear heads are us.
There is some surreal carelessness here, I have seen it and we have seriously thought of selling our bicycles. No matter what, we frequently get into tough situations while biking when we are seriously trying to avoid trouble. It reminds me of an article I read of why so many people in Retirement or Homeowner environments have problems. It was explained like this: We have some very nice folks and we have two kinds of not so nice. There are those (1) who never did much in life and now want to have a last chance to boss others. There are those who (2) were in supervisory positions of one kind or another and just cannot give it up. Makes sense to me.
So, try to drive nice, consider others, be careful and go the extra mile to avoid and accident. There are no accidents, none, there are however, violations of some law or common sense, it happens a lot here.
