Our experience in TV was so positive that we reserved a lot the first day we were there. We did not even know what TV was and just "happened" upon it in our travels and loved it so much that we knew we had found our home. I am very disheartened to hear about the attitude toward biking. I thought TV was an "active" community and that there would be mutual respect for "active" activities. Can anyone who has lived there for awhile tell me what they see as the issue with bikers? What's the problem with sharing the road and the paths?

Please do not let the negative comments towards bikers turn you off on biking in TV. It is still a wonderful place for biking and the roads and trails outside of TV are also fun. Please check out the web page for the Sumter Landing Bike club,
http://www.sumterlandingbicycleclub.org/
The club is growing by leaps and bounds as more and more new Villagers are bikers like yourself. We do monthly away rides, three weekly rides and other events. We also sponsor food banks, Habitat, and other charities. To the chagrin of some posters on this page, we do stress safety and riding practices at each meeting. All levels of bikers are welcome.
Again, don't be turned off, biking is great in TV.
