If bicycling on the roads is so dangerous and frightens people so much why aren't they afraid to ride in their golf carts? Most have no seat belts and go 20 mph in narrow lanes, sometimes right next to cars going 35 mph. There have been 15 golf cart deaths in The Villages in the last 4 years and for some reason everyone keeps talking about bicyclists riding on Buena Vista Blvd. Where is your fear of riding in a golf cart without seat belts? Falling out of a golf cart and suffering an impact to the head can result in a fatality. No serious bicyclist would consider riding at 20 mph without a helmet, yet people careen around corners here in their golf carts with no seat belts in a vehicle that was not designed to go over 13 mph and is prone to roll overs.
