As a bike rider I try to be unusually patient with bikers on the MMP’s. Today was a real test of my patients. I drove my cart from our home north of 466 to Belle Glade, a cart ride that takes 35 minutes on a hot summer day with little traffic on the MMP. Today it took almost an hour and 5 minutes. Granted, it was a beautiful day during busy season, however, I have never encountered sooooooo many bike riders. It seemed like I was stuck behind a bike for almost the entire ride. Every time I was able to safely pass a bike I almost immediately came up on another. I wish I counted how many I had to pass, my best guess would be close to 20. It really does test ones patients, especially when you are the last of several carts stuck behind a rider. Next time someone asks how long it takes to get to Belle Glade via golf cart, I will have to say between 35 and 65 minutes, depending on bike traffic.
