Clips.. They are riding shoes that have clips or cleats and snap onto a special pedal,, it allows for the cyclist to pedal much more efficient and with more power.
Most cyclist will use them. Most cyclist Do not need them around the villages, but they still use them...
Even wearing riding shoes that clip on, still need to obey the rules, that is why you will see most cyclist that are serious ride on the streets so they do not have to keep stopping on the MMP.
I am 100% guilty of not stopping all the time, usually I will make sure no one is coming then procede after coming to a ALMOST stop. I know that is no excuse and do not use it as one. I know I should completely stop as should all cars and carts and motorcycles and so on, and no all of them do not stop..
The one thing about traffic laws that amaze me, is this is a retirement community. Do not understand all hostility and " I am in a Hurry" get out of my way driving that goes on here. I had a gentlemen in a blue smart car coming out of Bellevedere dang near run me over and tell me get out of his way. He said he had an appointment to make.
Anyway that is my 2 cent.
And for Gracie Girl,, please do not run me over entering your house,,,, if so at least get me a Ice Cold Blue Moon.
