Well, as a bicyclist here I was almost killed once, and another time scared the crap out of me. I have ridden a bike in Manhattan and even in Rome, Italy. The Villages is by far, the most dangerous place I have ever ridden. I do believe it's due to less than competent drivers (because of age), and the amount of traffic in TV in the winter months. Someone has already said this: To survive here unharmed, you must be very patient along with being ever vigilant.
