Default Carts and crash

Well this is a big topic. A belt cinched up will keep you from being thrown. Double, lap and shoulder straps are a good deal better for sure.
It is sad what is going on now. Today, riding my bike, I get over when I see a cart coming from behind. I motion with the left arm to come on and pass, then I stop pedaling and pullover as far as I can to the very edge of the pavement and at times I even get off on to the grass, but cannot always do that. Just going from Old Mill on the cart path, north, to just beyond Arnold Palmer, ten to twelve carts passed me. As in any day, about 1 or 2 of 10 will pass so close and I mean close about 3 inches to show their ignorance and stupidity. Also so many will pass me on the bike when carts are coming ahead against our direction and then it is really close. No one is monitoring this area on paths. It is sad that such a great place will allow this to take place and it is a real item. Sadly, someone may get killed and it is all so sad and preventable. There is no such thing as an accident, it is all stupidity and being rude and it is all for ME.
