Just my 2 cents worth: Those on the path are our neighbors or friends and family of our neighbors. Some may be careless, rude, inconsiderate or just plain stupid, but they are our neighbors. Please treat all of our neighbors with the courtesy and respect that you would want. They all pay the same fees to use the paths as you! It's a beautiful day in The Villages...do your part to keep it beautiful.
If you pass someone on a bicycle, do you have to stay 3' away? And if you pass someone walking, do you have to do the same? If an LSV goes 30 m.p.h. on a path and passes someone walking, how much room should they leave? I would consider it a threat to life and limb to have a fast moving LSV pass close to me while I'm walking.
