The paths are actually called "multi-modal paths (or trails)" not cart paths. In other words, they are designed for carts, cyclists, walkers, joggers, etc... I am an avid cyclist, and I prefer to ride on the paths because I see too many unsafe driver maneuvers on the roadways. If I'm going to be hit by an errant driver, I'd rather it be with a golf cart than a 2000 pound car, lol! I see lone cyclists on Buena Vista for example,and think they're really taking their life in their hands. With a group, its a different story. I feel safer in a group on the heavily traveled roadways.
