I've never seen (or experienced) a golf cart driver run a bicyclist off the path. I have seen the suggestion that bikes *should* run the golf carts off the path in a recent thread.

We're still talking about the MMP, right? Bikes *should* ride towards the right edge of their MMP lane. But, since each of the lanes in the MMP are fairly narrow, "towards the right edge" is pretty much in the middle of the lane. In any case, just as on the roads, vehicles (golf carts) should move to the opposite lane to pass a bicycle when safe to do so. I doubt if it is physically possible for a golf cart and a bicycle to fit side by side in a single line of the MMP.

Moving to the other lane of the MMP (and the road) is what I've done every time I've needed to pass a bicyclist, is what I've experienced when I was on a bicycle, and is what I've seen others do. No doubt there are some drivers out there who do stupid things when passing bicyclists but I've not encountered one yet.
Please... Just stop it with your "common sense and logic"...

It has no place on these "entitlement" treads...
