Good point. As I stated before, those annoyed by bicycles on the road will not change their mind. They just don't want bicycles there. It has nothing to do with fees or stop signs. It is not because they are worried about the cyclist saftey. IMO, it just is that bicycles slow them down and are an annoyance. I no longer ride and yes, sometime bicycles stress me but then I say to myself, "patience grasshopper".

This post is disturbing.
The so-called "Lance Armstrong wannabe" outfits are functional clothing designed for comfort (padded bike shorts) and visibility (brightly colored jerseys). Presumably you have contempt for other sports related clothing? It has been my experience that the word "fair" is often used when someone has an opinion but no real facts/evidence to support their ideas. It is an emotional appeal that should be given no weight in an intelligent discussion. So, how often do you record the license plate number of cars performing "rudely"? If I stopped to do this I would never arrive at my destination. Calling people "nutjobs" reflects badly on you. I suggest you stop calling people names. If someone waves you on and you do not believe it is safe to pass then don't. No comment is required. By the way, cars passing cyclists on 2-lane roads, where they cross a double solid line, is common, and illegal. If you disagree with the existing laws then you should put in the time and effort to try to change them. Quote:

I am not sure that you need to be paying an amenity fee to use the MMPs. It isn't clear to to me that you need a Villages id and that is the only evidence that you are paying an amenity fee (or are guest of someone who is or is on a lifestyle visit). Golf carts only pay a fee if they are "street legal" and can therefore use the 35 mph roads.

Whenever I am driving, I enjoy seeing people out cycling regardless of whether they are zipping along at 25 mph or just cruising along taking in the scenery. I give cyclists the widest possible space when I pass and only pass when I can do so. I appreciate it when others do the same for me. The amount of effort it takes to be kind to cyclists is minimal, and so is the amount of time it takes.
