This is the part of the OP's post that concerns me most:

Two 3-wheeled bikes riding beside each other will absolutely block the entire side of the MMP they're traveling in. If they were going under 15mph (and the OP claims it was 5mph, but I doubt it would've been THAT slow), then they should've pulled over once in awhile to let a group of golf carts pass. Sharing goes both ways. The bikes need to share with golf carts AND be respectful of the speed limit on the MMP.
Golf carts also need to share with bikes and be respectful of that speed limit. They don't have the "right" to go over 19.8mph, even on an actual road with a 25mph posted speed limit. The fastest a non-LSV golf cart is legally allowed to go is 19.8. On some MMPs and roads the speed limit is reduced to 15, and in some spots it can be as low as 10. Most people don't even pay attention to the 15mph sign on Paradise Avenue just before you get to the fire department from the Boone Gate, or on the other side after the Wales Gate at the church. And most people totally ignore the 10mph sign as you enter the area at Paige Place where the La Hacienda motel is, and the Hacienda rec center and sports pool on either side of the road.
When you TRY to obey the signs, you're often given dirty looks, or eye-rolls, or tail-gating experiences, or (on rare occasions) a horn honk.
If I'm going slower than the speed limit, I recognize, respect, and appreciate your right to pass me at the speed limit. But if I'm going the speed limit, you don't have that right. So just get behind me and be patient - and next time, leave 5 minutes earlier.
