Uh Uhhhh .... not here in FL ;)

Sidewalk Bicycle Riding - Florida Law | Miami Bike Accident Lawyer

Not sure how ELECTRIC BIKES are affected because it says: A person propelling a vehicle by human power upon and along a sidewalk...........has all the rights and duties applicable to a pedestrian under the same circumstances.

There has been fights regarding SEGWAYs on sidewalks and the Segway's usually lost.

E-bikes limit their own top speed to conform to different legal standards. Canada is lower (I believe) than the US. But, the top speed is never higher than a pedaled bike can go. The advantage is that the rider can rest on steep uphills and can travel further distances on the level by resting sometimes. It seems to work better with older riders who like to still cover long distances like they did by pedal power alone when they were younger.

I'm sorry, but that is complete BS.

Still, as an avid cyclist, I cringe whenever I see someone riding on a concrete sidewalk when it's right next to a diamond lane. The people I see doing it look like they can barely ride as it is, so it's especially dangerous. I suppose they are terrified of riding in the diamond lanes...

I also avoid the walking/biking paths south of 44. They generally have two posts blocking the path to keep out the carts and it's scary riding my bike between them. Let's let the walkers have a safe place to walk. Besides, there is usually a MMP or diamond lane nearby and I don't have to worry about all the obstacles in my way and I can ride faster. I won't even ride on the cart-accessible Marsh Bend path because there is a diamond lane in the road. It's much easier riding.

All of us cart riders, bikers, and walkers have one thing in common - we have all learned what to do to enjoy ourselves while ensuring our safety as best we can.

We may believe other people are inconsiderate idiots, but we know they are not going to change their behavior, so we have to learn how to deal with them.

By the way, the new walking/biking trail they are building at Hawkins is absolutely beautiful. Much nicer than Wiechens.

I have a cell on my bike that I use when about to pass walkers along with saying if I am on their right etc

I have a bell on my bike that I use when about to pass walkers along with saying if I am on their right etc

I'm afraid I'd have to just stop and stand there while the riders figure it out!

I am 75 and have poor balance but have no problem with the walking/biking paths having "two posts blocking the path to keep out the carts".

My solution? I walk my bike between the posts.

My only problem is when people (probably cart riders) remove the posts. They used to often do this over at Hogeye until The Villages put in more substantial posts that cannot be removed. Now there are no carts on the beautiful Hogeye walking/biking trail.

Any notice is better then buzzing by people and hoping they don't take a step the their left.

Since some bike riders seem to like "buzzing by people", we only take up 1/2 of the walking path. That leaves space for the buzzards.

We don't stagger along taking up the whole path like some old codgers do.

Old fashioned??!!

Yep!

Take a visit to the New Areas and see for yourself.

been over all of it. Doesn't suit me but each to their own.
