I used to be a serious bike rider. I've ridden the streets of San Francisco, NYC, halfway up Mount Kilimanjaro and many other places. I tried riding a bike here once. Never again. Too many people here seem to resent bikes, even when all laws are being followed. To ride a bike on the golf cart paths is to seriously put your life at risk.
And I agree too many cyclists here are under the illusion they own the road, especially when riding on packs.
Wish all folks would understand that sharing the road is not all that onerous and can actually be enjoyable.
