As an avid bicyclist for over 40 years, I have seen this comment several times in the past. About a month ago, I decided to count carts that did not stop at stop signs unless there was traffic coming in the cross direction. (In which case, most people stop because of self preservation). After counting over 50 golf carts that did everything from a slow rolling to a full out blow through the stop sign, I stopped counting as I did not see one cart that came to a complete stop. This does not excuse anyone in or on any vehicle from not following the rules of the road or for not showing courtesy. In full disclosure, I do wear spandex pants because they eliminate any chaffing and I wear a colorful shirt so that I can be easily seen. So shake your fists at the idiots wherever they are and then let it go.
