They are called multi modal paths for a reason. They are not golf cart paths, or bicycle paths, or walking paths. We have to learn to share. That said, if you are a walker and are going slower than the other people using the path, move over and let the bicycles and/or golf carts go by. That is just common courtesy. Likewise, golf cart drivers need to be courteous too, and be on the lookout for walkers and don't just assume you can do 25 mph and zoom on by everyone like you're the king of the road. Share. In retrospect The Villages should have designed things a little differently, perhaps more sidewalks for walkers. Expecting carts going 25 mph to share with cyclists going 15 mph, and walkers going 3 or 4 mph is a reach. But that's what we have, so make the best of it.
