You're apt to see anything on those paths. A few days back we saw a guy driving a cart at about 4 MPH--with one of those canes used by the blind strapped to the back of his cart! True story.

For myself I'll echo what other posters have said. I've never lost anything by being courteous. Whenever I encounter a cart when I'm walking I'll step off the path into the grass, smile and wave. It inevitably results in the smile and wave being reciprocated.. Sometimes I get a thumbs-up or other form of recognition that my courtesy was appreciated. However being courteous does NOT mean being a pushover. If I see someone endangering others by what they're doing I will let them know.
