I commute to work everyday on my bike. I work in Wildwood but Live in Bison Valley. so I ride thru TV to work. The ride back and forth is enjoyable. I dont have many problems on the road, I use Buena Vista,, Morse and Stillwater alot. The only problems I have are with Drivers in cars that do not give you anyroom what so ever. I usually maintain about 24 mph and will approach 28-30 on Morse, BV and 466a. The only times I ride the cart paths is going down 466 when I use that route. Never had a problem from the carts, usually pass them. Most of them are very friendly and crack up when a bike is passing them.
I like riding the road mainly easier for a bike to get a round.
There are groups that ride. Check with Santos Bike shop on 466 just east of Morse Blvd. They can tell you when the groups meet. One of the Cats that work there lead The Villages group on the rides. There is also a group that meets at 630pm on Thursday at the church at 466 and morse. we ride 20-22 miles every thursday. 2 different speeds. the ones that race alittle about 22 mph average then a slower group. it is alot of fun. Sometimes there are about 16 riders on Thursday nights.

As for Cycle Theft. I don not let my bike out of sight !!!! If I had to, it would get locked up..... Too much money to have it walk a way...

Come on out and enjoy.
