I rode long distance until we moved here. I will load bike and travel to safer paths that allow bikes, but not golf cart. I never ride the roads here.

No matter how you feel about bikes vs cart vs car, but bike will always loose. I get it every one feels their way is correct, but correct doesn’t mean you will arrive safely. We have plenty of elderly who shouldn’t be driving a cart or car. Vision can be sketchy, you are in their blind spot, or they are just unaware they are actually driving in the cart lane in their car.

I will say if I have to be on MMP path I own the lane means I own the middle of the lane I don’t move over for passing of faster cart. That move puts can put you off the path and in uneven grass. That said I have never had a cart try to pass in median areas, yell at me for being in the way, but then again I bike for exercise, which does not involve slow pace. I do however appreciate the cart that passes, yells out the speed, and a good job thumbs up.
