These are the real killers. These are the real risky things people do everyday. It’s just not that noticeable. These people sit back, enjoy overeating, over drinking, and never exercising and they never wake up to the fact that they are slowly killing themselves. It’s time to accept the fact that many Villagers want to live a healthier lifestyle. You see them everyday. They are out riding their bicycles, jogging, walking, playing pickle ball, swimming, etc. This is a retirement community. Slow down when driving a car or golf cart. Yes, bicyclists, walkers, and joggers slow you down. Isn’t that good? Isn’t that why you retired? Courtesy all around would be nice this Holiday season and into the New Year. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

I don't know why you are lecturing me. I never said anything negative about bicyclists. I occasionally ride a bicycle and understand the problems. My statement was to the poster who said it should be safe for cyclists on the road. Yes, it should be safe for them but reality is there are aggressive and unobservant drivers and there isn't anything anyone can do about it. Ride defensively paying attention to your surroundings.
