Embrace cyclists being on the road as part of your daily driving experience just like stop signs, traffic lights, and traffic. We live in The Villages, why is anyone in such a hurry not to respect the life and legal right of others to use our roadways if they wish? RELAX!

Cyclists have to stop at stop signs and yield at yield signs. Why?. Because it's the law. Considering cyclists don't yield the right of way, leading to them getting hit by a car, who are they going to "prosecute" then. Besides, prosecuting drivers for an accident is a pipe dream unless they are impaired, speeding, or acted intentionally.
So how about cyclists embrace cars as part of their "daily driving experience", but don't ignore them like they ignore stop signs and yield signs, and not be in a "hurry" and respect the rights of other vehicles instead of maintaining their "pedal cadence".
