Florida law - cars and carts must stay at least 3 feet from a bicycle or pedestrian
Walkers/joggers/runners should walk facing traffic. If you can't pass them (safely) without giving 3 or more feet clearance, then you should WAIT. Sorry hot cart Joe.
Bicycles have the right to the entire lane - Florida LAW - same applies for in the streets.
Many (including me) move to the right to aid passing carts and faster vehicles.
*If I don't move to the right, you should not be passing because there is another vehicle or limited visibility ahead.*
When passing, you should completely move to the left lane giving the bike or pedestrian maximum safety while passing - just like you'd do on HIGHWAY 42 when passing another car.
Be courteous and cautious (safe). Give others as much room as possible.
When the lanes split (single file around vegetation and such), you should not pass.
Reason: there is not 3-feet of clearance as required by FLORIDA LAW.
Sure, the pedestrian can courteously step off the pavement. A bicycle usually cannot for safety and stability reasons.

I bet Tiger Woods doesn't drive like a p-off maniac when going to golf.
I laugh as I think how it screws-up your game.
