That includes the golf carts that like to drive slow and then floor it when you try to pass them.
Where there is only one lane is precisely where the "taking the lane" is a must for the biker. Otherwise carts will try to squeeze between the left curb and the bike.
That's a no-no. The cart has to wait until there are two lanes, and no oncoming traffic in order to pass safely.
