Well, if you have "encountered a few" of these careless people, then that means you should not be riding your bikes where you are now.
Maybe try going on some of the biking trails that have replaced the old unused railroad lines. I think you can ride uninterrupted for a long way on the trail south of us near the town of Mabel.

The availability of the paths are the primary reason we moved to The Villages, so that we could ride out our front door and have access to paths that would not require us riding on the roads with cars, and also didn’t require us loading our bikes up and driving somewhere. We ride every day. Some people come for the golf, some for the entertainment. We came for the cycling. We are not the only ones. I have heard from many other cyclists who moved here for the same reason. They are called multi-modal paths (not cart paths) for a reason. And why does it make more sense for us to ride someplace else than it does for carts to exercise a bit of common sense by not trying to pass another vehicle/person in a blind curve, whether it’s a bike, a walker, or another cart.
