Yes they are. My wife and Daughter were hit from behind by a golf cart last year. Daughter had to be taken to hospital via Ambulance. The old cat that did it, just kept telling me I only wanted to get past... Did I do something wrong.. No what gave you that idea,,,,,, My wife on the ground, or better yet my daughter on the ground in pain,,, or better yet the ambulance,,,,, HELLLLOOOO. We were riding at 18mph when he ran into the back of the bikes on a part of the MMP that has the divider between Laurel Valley and Laurel Manor on 466.
Heck I have seen cars and motorcycles on the MMP and trying to go thru the tunnels. SCSO had a cart pulled over on the MMP on EL Camino. One of the those lifted carts with the big tires. I heard the Deputy tell him he was doing 32MPH down the MMP. Not sure what speed limit is, I am guessing 19 or 21 mph. So it is dangerous everywhere I guess. :MOJE_whot::MOJE_whot:

And not even sure why the SCSO had him stopped. THey can not enforce the MMP. they had him stopped by the Savannah Center.

I must admit that I saw a cyclist (alone) on BVB today on a dark colored bike with all dark attire (helmet, jersey & shorts) with no lights of any kind. Not the smartest thing I have ever seen. Fortunately, these clueless ones are in the heavy minority.

GaryW ..... sorry for the injury's to your family. Their are lame people everywhere! BTW .... do you work at a local bike ship? msg the answer if you would prefer.
