It's just a really wrong, stupid thing to do.

I'm an advid biker and use the MMPs often. The only time I speed up when there is a cart behind me is if it is unsafe for me to pull over or unsafe for the cart to pass because of an oncoming cart or curve. I speed up so as not to inconvenience the cart. As soon as I see a safe straight away, I slow down, pull as far right as I can and wave the cart on. I've never had anyone in cart not say thank you to me when passing. It's simple. It's called being considerate, sharing and safe. Watch for carts and bikers that don't use turn signals. They are likely the ones to be inconsiderate of others.
