By Florida law a motorized vehicle passing a bicycle MUST be able to clear the bicycle by three feet. I seldom ride my bike on the multi modal paths, but when I do I ride as near the right side as possible. But where the MMP splits, in most cases there is not room for a golf cart to pass a bicycle and give 3 feet of clearance. At the split MMP I now ride right down the middle to prevent the cart trying to pass. I was nearly hit the only three times I let a cart pass my bike on the split MMP.; the carts missed my handle bar by inches and I was as far to the right of the split MMP as possible.
