We'll be at our home in TV starting the first week in November for 6 months. I'm looking for people who like to ride trails that I can ride with. I love going to Santos but I want to try other places as well.

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum

I have a 21-speed hybrid that I ride but there aren't any trails over on my end of The Villages. One of these days I'll get a bike rack for the back of my golf cart so I can transport the bike across 441 (or anywhere else for that matter) with ease. But right now it's a chore just to get it into the back of my car - I have to take the front wheel off, move the seats of the car, and angle the thing just right.

No bike rack required : )

Not an option. I have to drive over the 441 golf cart bridge. That setup would either break the bike, or break the golf cart coming from the other direction.

It also won't work on the Morse Blvd bridge by Lake Sumter Landing. Both of those bridges and the Historic side bridge over 441 is barely wide enough for a cart with mirrors, let alone a bike tire hanging out the side. And in both of those situations, there isn't any pull over option either.
