Lately, I'm driving around much more during the day and I'm aghast at the street legal golf carts and bike riders riding along the main roads next to big SUV's (like mine) and other very large construction trucks, taking their lives in their hands and possibly becoming a victim in a terrible accident. Not me,,, I'm a 100% chicken, I'm in my SUV, driving the speed limit, avoid riding next to large trucks and stay far away from carts and bikes. I still don't get it, if there is a MM path (or whatever its called), WHY ride in the main road and take chances?? Maybe some one could enlighten me?

But in the meantime, I am saying many prayers for those people to hopefully recover in good form. Such a tragedy!!

At this location there isn't a (separated) multi modal lane. Even worse as you go south toward 466 you must cross the lane into on coming traffic and HOPE the traffic allows you to cross.
