On the roads cars do not like sharing space with bicyclists or other slower moving vehicles. On the multi modal paths golf carts do not like sharing the paths with walkers or slow moving bicycles. People do not like to slow down or move over for other people. No one likes to be inconvenienced. You might think that people would be pleased to see older folk staying in shape by walking and bicycling. Just look at your average bicyclist or walker. They are usually in great shape. Why not just slow down a little, and move over a lane to get around them. It isn't really that much of a hardship is it?
