I agree with you, as far as you went. Now, would we like to address the entitled bike riders???????

Nobody said you did.

Just below your "bottom line" are the "idiot" cyclists who ride 2-3 abreast, blocking anyone from passing them and the "idiot" pedestrians, who don't walk facing traffic, also walking 2-3 abreast putting themselves in danger...

And be careful, when you try to "punch out the lights" of some "entitled (possibly the most overused word on this board) golf cart driver. You may rue that day...

Well, you did respond to my question... So there's that...

I was chatting with a friend recently when he mentioned that The Villages has become a much less friendly place. He said there is a lot of anger around and I tend to agree him. Nine years ago when I moved here, people seemed less hurried and more polite. Now everyone is in a rush to get somewhere and they show less tolerance and politeness. This thread seems to show the same trend. A lot of angry posts are showing up lately. Why the hostility? I moved here to slow down, enjoy the lifestyle, and make new friends. I didn’t move here to yell at bicyclists, walkers, joggers, golf cart drivers, and auto drivers. Maybe we have grown too fast and too large?

It's not just TV...

It's nation wide. It's on FaceBook, Twitter. It's coming from our elected representatives, as well. People are people wherever they are...

I wouldn't expect it to be any different here...

Yesterday i viewed a golf cart passing a biker going downhill to a tunnel with no way out for the on coming traffic.
There was 10 feet walls on bothsides.
The idiot almost hit head on coming traffic coming out of the tunnel, the oncoming traffic stopped short of the stop line and barely missed this idiot.
Twice I've seen this happen this week, now all the anti bike people try to justify this action.
I call it entitlement AHOLE Person!
