There are numerous walking/biking paths throughout TV where carts are not allowed. Yet, on the cart paths/MMPs that were designed for them to go 20 mph, carts get a bad rap for even being on the MMPs and "going too fast." There's not a walker or biker (not on an E-bike) that can move 20 mph. The tunnels, bridges and round-abouts, IMO, were not designed to accommodate bikers and walkers. My husband and I have kept the governor on our cart and keep our speed at 19-20 mph, give walkers/bikers wide berth whenever possible or slow down to accommodate their speed when we have to. Yet despite that, we're always getting yelled at to "slow down," "get off the path," and a multitude of other unmentionable comments!!! We've had them purposely step or pull their bikes out in front of us when they see us coming. We had an entire group of bikers (about 15) fan out in the lane in front of us from single file as we approached from behind, trying to make it impossible for us to safely pass around them. When we were able to pass them in the oncoming traffic path lane, we were heckled, cursed at, and yelled at. I no longer have any sympathy for these people on the very paths originally built for carts.....and yes, I know, not all bikers/walkers are like this. There just seem to be more and more of the nasty ones as TV grows. There are approximately 75k golf carts on the cart paths and villages streets that were designed for them. The bikers/walkers need to stop whining!!!

OMG sounds like entitlement to me GOLFERS RULE lmao
