No, the lone bicyclist and the bike group were not going to make a left anytime soon. Gas carts pay a road tax, bicycles don't. However, I have already stated that I have no problem with bicycles sharing the road. I also believe carts should be able to access certain roads and places of business where no cart path is available.
You can already do that if you register your cart and add windshield wipers and seat belts. In other words make it street legal. You can then access roads with speed limits of up to 35 mph.
