Can't for the life of me understand why one would choose the roadway instead of that lovely, smooth, paved path with no cars.
There are times the roads are safer than the paths. Agressive golf carts passing at speeds above 19.5. Neighbor lady on her bike was hit head on by a cart in the wrong lane coming at her around a corner. People never stopped left her maimed in the path.

Bike's should stop. They are often cleated in and un cleating a foot and coming to a stop is sometime dangerous and more difficult than a non rider might think,

Bikes are no longer required to stop at down gates but they must slow down and yield. I believe this literature is at all gate opps? I said slow thru the gate not blow through in a 30 mph tour de france pak

Lets all slow down be safe drive defensive and enjoy this paradise. To much stress hate and anger lately.
