Maybe I’m over-thinking this, and it’s not as big a safety concern as I’m envisioning it to be. Would be interested to hear what cyclists have to say about their comfort and safety level when riding on the paths.
I’ve had an E-bike for 2 years and have ridden everywhere, use your mirrors and be mindful of golf carts coming and going. I have not had any issues with golf carts.
