I ride a bike on the MM paths, and like someone said, there are certain areas where I ride in the middle of the path, because people will pass you with just inches to spare. I try to choose a time of day when it's not as busy. I wear a neon shirt or jacket, and have a blinking light on the bike.Yes, there are a lot of rude, discourteous cart drivers out there, but its much safer on the paths than in the road. There are also nice biking trails outside the Villages if you really want to avoid the golf carts.
