With all of the people that are walking now because of the virus, it makes more sense for those on bikes to use the MMPS on which they are allowed and stay off the walking trails, problems with pedestrians solved.

Problems are rarely even solved, because new day starts the problem all over again.

I am embarrassed for them. Do they use that language at home? People, try to stop using such profane language out in public, it just shows others how crass and low life you are.

Maybe it's low self-esteem. They must be cursing at themselves. I've never seen a bad shot that wasn't caused by operator error.

It’s curse, not cuss.

It depends on where you come from. I’ve always used the word “swear.” Curse is something else, much worse.

Adults aren’t free to use any language they choose. Try telling a cop that he’s an AH.

First words are MULTI MODAL, not cart, bike, roller blades or anything else. It also does not say anything about a transportation street, road, boulevard, alley or anything near. It is for multi, which for you who do not understand means many with no limit to the means of movement. If she wanted to pass and did not have room, wait until you have room and pass.

If it had been me, my ugly side might have come out and she would have accidently fallen off her bike!!!!

See, you’re attitude the problem. You think you can wander all over block path, and put yourself in unsafe conditions and blame someone else. You are also responsible for you’re own safety. There is limitations on MMP, walking trails, and streets. None of them are free for all.

I have to agree with the biker as far as walking on your side so people can pass you. The language no but everywhere I go no matter how large the walking area is it seems I have move over because two people take up the whole area. I was always taught to stay on the right side. Just be considerate so others can pass you with ease.

I agree with you, but:
As we all know by now that its a way of life for just about everyone to be using curse words. Just listen to the Hollywood fakers or late-night so call comedians, you know the one our naive generation is truly following, respect is long gone....

Manners run in both directions. I ride my ride on the paths and often come up behind walkers. Like most bikers I have seen, I simply warn them "coming up on your left". There's no sense in startling anyone let along be a jerk about it - regardless whether they are 'right' or not. There are more important things to worry about.

Well, it brings up the question, should bikes be allowed where people walk?

We bought our home on a nice peaceful pond and really enjoy the quiet and peacefulness.

Perhaps she didn't have a bike seat and felt irritated

Share the Path
"Who is allowed to use the multi-modal paths throughout The Villages?” This is a question that the District receives on a regular basis. The multi-modal paths are for use by NON-AUTOMOTIVE traffic such as bicycles, golf carts, pedestrians, and skaters. It is not legal…nor is it smart…to drive vehicles such as smart cars, motorcycles, or mopeds on any of the multi-modal paths in The Villages. For additional information, please click on the header of this announcement to read a memo from District Counsel regarding the use of multi-modal paths.
Announcement from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles
Effective July 1, 2013, The Florida Legislature amended FS 319.14 to allow the conversion of a Low Speed Vehicle (LSV) to a golf cart. For additional information on the process of converting a LSV to a golf cart, please click on the header of this announcement or the following website link: Low Speed Vehicles.
