I recently noticed 2 people on a tandem bike riding on Buena Vista where there is not shoulder for bikes or paths gold carts. Cars were slowing down and changing lanes to avoid them this was a very serious situation. Ride the bikes on the street in the neighbor hoods not on main roadways and again please stay off the golf cart paths.

First off it is not a golf cart path, if you have lived in TVG for more than a day you should know that!!!! It is a Multi Modal Path, golf cart paths on golf courses!! Look up Multi and Modal and you will be able to determine what should be on the path. How is a slow bike any different than a slow car on a road? Yes they can and should ride their bikes on the MMP and by law can ride bikes on roadways.
