You're right, Walter! It was a beautiful day to ride and that is what I did...a pleasant 30 miler with 8 others in my recumbent bike club.

good question..bikes are allowed on all roads but golf carts aren't ...tractors and haybalers are allowed IF they display
an SLOW MOVING VEHICLE triangular shaped reflective sign on the back of their unit...but bikes aren't required to do that..I think that ALL bikes/recumbents and golfcarts should be REQUIRED to display that rectangular SLOW MOVING VEHICLE sign on the back of their vehicle |

I'm sure if they did they would take it for what it is...a very typical forum where a vocal minority can make anything sound worse than it really is. |

No problem. If I was to give a single piece of advice to cars and golf carts regarding cyclists it would be "give them a lot of space".

Drainage, Beautification, Maintenance of Stop Signs? Huh???

Note they are two separate sentences. Why would anyone even consider a regulation or law regarding a bicycle being in "good shape" when we don't even have state inspection for cars? The other things you mention are absurd and have nothing to do with bicycles.

I guess we need to also come up with a registration fee for the roller bladers also who use the MMP and side streets. Maybe even a sneaker fee for the runners to help create friendly running paths in The Villages, but wait we already have so called friendly places for all, at least I thought. If we need to make sure vehicles are safe, then we need to go back to the ole State yearly inspections. |

Anyone using the MMP is supposed to be paying the amenity fee (I think). Some probably don't, but that is an enforcement issue. People pay extra fees to ride their motorcycle, scooter, even electric golf cart (Par Car NEV). By your logic, if someone has a licensed vehicle, then additional vehicles using the roads should not have to pay? |

If bicyclist were required to pay for license plates, they would have to display the plate on the bicycle. When they came to the line of cars waiting their turn at a 4 way stop intersection and the cyclist proceeded to rudely drive up the side of the vehicles already sitting there (of course he has his Lance Armstrong wannabe outfit on! ), someone could video tape it on their phone, get the cyclist license plate number, and file a complaint with police. I agree that there are nut jobs behind the wheel of some cars, but IMHO there seems to be a greater percentage of nut jobs on bicycles. Several times a year I experience bicyclist riding their bicycle down a windy 2 lane road during morning rush hour (people are trying to get to work on time!) and the bicyclist is waving at me to pass in a non passing zone were I can't see if anyone is coming from the other way. I don't trust that stranger's opinion weather there is enough room to pass...just ridiculous! BTW - I have and ride a bicycle on occasion, and when I do, I ride on the bike path. I would not need to have license plates there... |

If you require a bike registration, all bikes. Does not matter where you ride, you must have it. Not sure why anyone would think the law would not apply to them... Might be a good idea after all,, all the fees raised go to building bike roads,, no cars allowed. |

I bet you have to ride on your local street to get to the cart path.

licence plate fees are by weight so how much is it for a 12 pound bike? $1.50 per year?
