In our right cart lane a cyclist enthusiast in full high tech cycling gear simultaneously thrust out his left arm and shot out in front of our car while overtaking a slower moving cart. To say he scared the 💩 out of us, would be an understatement. I screamed and braced for impact. Only my husband's quick reflexes prevented yet another car/bike accident, or worse. My husbands many years of training and driving a police vehicle saved the day. The cyclist wobbled all over the road, having waved his left arm so vigorously he lost control of his bike. My husband yelled in alarm to the cyclist "stay in the cart lane" to which the cyclist yelled "F@CK YOU" while indicating his IQ. It was a very ugly incident, and sadly not so unusual any more . The cyclist hung back (embarrassed, I hope)and eventually took the cart/tunnel under 466. Ugliness and fright caused by one person's lack of patience on a busy road. I could add for good measure the often seen "pack" of cyclist blowing through all the traffic signals at Moyer Loop and Morse, but then I will be repeating a long running thread. No doubt I will also be attacked for daring to call out an ill mannered, but luckily not injured, cyclist.

You know you're exactly right & the carts are the same way exactly, but not everybody. Yea, you hit the nail square on the head, their IQ must be about 10. It's been in the paper several times about cars HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY, not carts or bikes. These people probably were bullies all of their lives or always think they're right. Just wish The Villages Sun News would print up flyers & put them in EVERYBODIES mail boxes, & also just up on the top page of the Daily Sun in one paragraph saying very simply, "Cars have the right away, not carts & bikes". The roads in TV are county roads not owned by TV's. There's a lot of arrogant A$$ holes here in TV, we're not perfect. So to the low IQ A$$ holes out there. If you want to live, respect the cars because you're at fault!
