And as a previous motorcycle rider, I agree, that is dangerous. It is paramount for them to assume the cars can't/don't see them. As for the bike riders, I also rode many centuries, and the safest place for a bike rider in on the road going the same direction as the cars.
The reason why some people still drive car or cart when they shouldn’t is because there is no public transportation like in other crowded places like municipalities, and few sidewalks - even if they could walk to get groceries or go to doctor’s appointments.
