I am amazed at the inconsiderate driving of the some of the golf car people.... especially when we are entering and exiting the tunnels.... we have experienced honking, tailgaiting, passing...etc as we are sucking wind trying to climb the road out of the tunnel on bicycles. At times I have had to exit my bike real quick and walk up the hill, I DO NOT need a golf car on my tail as I do this...
Have a care for people in this situation.... if I or anyone else was that physically fit, we would be on the streets in real traffic...going through traffic circles, but we choose to ride the multi modal paths figuring it would be safer.....
Just remember to share the road and have consideration for the bicycylists

I sometimes think the minute you get on that bike and pull out your driveway, you are dead wrong to most already, I have been called names even had a gent pull up beside me and move over into the cart path on Belvedere to yell at me for being on the road,,, Heck he ran me into the curb almost. the best was on Parr Drive, speed limit is 25. 3 of ous in line were doing 28.5. Lady in a car told us to do the speed limit or get off the road we dont belong there. we just smiled and waved to her..
But for the most part, most of the people are nice and even wave and talk with us. It is just those few that for some reason get aggravated if anyone is on the road beside them. You will see all kinds bad driving habits once you start cycling around here. It is amazing.
