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.

Isn't that wonderful that there are so many people out exercising on their bikes!
So you are one of those grouchy old men who have no patients for someone enjoying life. Get up earlier and leave your home sooner so you are not frustrated when you come upon a bike rider. Look on the bright side, you live in a community where people enjoy exercise outside and that is why they are here! They are doing it right down in the southern villages with the separate bike and walking trails and the carts are in the street where they belong.
