A golf cart coming from the other direction is not the issue. Head on collisions are not the real danger. You can see them coming and get out of the way (hopefully). The real danger is when you are passed from behind and get clipped. This is why there is a required 3 foot clearance. The problem here is that the cyclist were riding abreast. They should not have been doing this but you should not have passed them also until it was safe to do so.

Sorry, but I'm not looking to argue , just asking all of us to be kinder. No matter what the issue....ROAD RAGE IS NOT ACCEPTABLE! You weren't there and just because you are a biker does not mean you know what happened. I will tell you there were more than 3 feet. Everyone sees things differently. Can't we all just get along and stop hitting and cursing others out.
