It's no different here in FL than up north, where we do share the roads with bikes of all kinds. They do have a right to be there just as we do in our vehicles. It's about being careful and watching out for one another.
Yesterday we were out running errands and an observation I had with drivers of BOTH cars and carts "seem" to be some folks have a vision issue. I've seen vehicles straddling the white line of the diamond paths with the car/lanes---this is BOTH cars/trucks and carts. I've seen vehicles make a turn by cutting over into the other lane (also verboten)--scarey!!!
Again...this thread has been posted (by different posters) time and again on TOTV. We all just need to be defensive drivers when out and about. If you see a biker in your lane and you're concerned---go to the left lane if you have time and room, to go around them. On the roundabouts---you should not be going fast anyway in the event you encounter ANY type of vehicle!!!
