100%, we load up the bikes and head over to one of these places too. Santos has a meandering paved trail thru the forest, 16 miles long with just two road crossings and it's empty all week long.

The other thing I'd add is that being able to keep up with the flow of golf car traffic helps a lot so ebikes at 20-22mph can be safer than analog bikes at 12mph.
