Should have titled the law "ride at your own risk", because that is what it is.

I still believe they should require license and plates for bicyclist that ride the roads. I have to purchase plates on every car I take on the road, and I have to pass a test prior to being allowed to do so...
You have got to read into this ,,, then sit back and

My opinion and mine alone,, Just sayin
Unfortunately a lot of that around this place,,, Poster has their own opinion like everyone else does. If you can not determine just about 3 feet from drivers side of car, it might be time to turn in the ole DL and try riding a bike..

To my fellow poster "Southoftheborder" this is why I suggested shutting off this thread. A lot of emotion and opinion, no logic or facts. Dirtbanker needs a hug bad!

They do not like it. Remember if they need to pass you they can do it on blind curves if they have to as they can always cut back in if another cart appears from the opposite direction.

If you remember these two inclinations of some car and cart drivers you will have a better understanding of why some of the more strident operators get very testy when other slower people or vehicles come across their path. Their slogans could be "Get out of my way! What are you doing on the road,? (golf cart path) You are putting yourself at great danger. You will surely lose if you get hit by a car or a golf cart. What are you thinking?"
Some people might take this seriously...
