I'm from Virginia. I am safer and not interfering with cars, cyclists or walkers. We have sidewalks and bike baths and both sides. I can see (for quite a distance) cars, cyclists and pedestrians. I also see several LE officers each day. They've never said a word. I don't ride my bike when at The Villages. I see too many people that shouldn't be driving - anything.
