Yes a good video. I only wish the cyclists in The Villages followed those rules that those in the video do. Maybe than the vehicles would as well.
I have never seen such an "I own the road" mindset any where. They break every law out there. They never stop at stop signs or red lights, they don't follow the road or multi modal paths correctly, it is no wonder they have issues. More than once I have heard the "coming through" yell by the pack of cyclists as they expect everyone else to get out of there way. As this video points out, share the road goes both ways.
Just 15 minutes ago on Baily Trail, a biker was going from the road onto the golf cart path toward Sumter landing. Instead of following the golf cart crossing, they cut across the road before the island, rode up the wrong lane on Baily Trail and turned left onto the cart path. A cart coming off the path had to stop suddenly and the biker yelled at him.
I ride bicycles and motorcycles and I know there are a lot of idiots out there who fail to respect their space, but here it seems to go way to far in the other direction. Let the flaming begin.
