As motorcyclist and bicyclist I can tell you that if you don't own the lane when safety demands it, such as on a road or cart path where there is not a safe distance for a car or cart to pass the cyclist you must not ride to the far right as this will give cars and carts the bare minimum where they think they can squeeze by and some will try it and then the possibility arises for a collision as there is not enough room for a safe pass. So the motorcyclist or bicyclist needs to "take the lane" and ride in the middle so as to not get squeezed off the road by an inexperienced or unsafe driver. Many cars and carts are very polite and careful, but we cyclists have to be aware and protect ourselves from some drivers. We live in an active, adult community where many people are out walking, bicycling, etc., to lose weight and stay in shape. Give us a "brake" when you are charging off to play golf or going out to eat somewhere. Thanks!
