Why is it such a bad thing to ride my bike on the far right so that golf carts can pass? I do it on the public streets all the time so that cars AND golf carts can pass. It really isn't a big deal.

The other phrase, drive with care is key. Yes it is a golf cart community and we have one. My complaint is those who don’t drive with care.

Yup. Enlightened is the way to go. Move south and ride until your hearts content and get of the cart paths or ride in street

hopefully these threads will make golf cart riders more aware of the risk of hurting someone with there idiot actions. Get my Point?

Since you already know what my response will be (and I thought only my wife had that superpower) then maybe I should just accept your schooling and go sit in a corner???

I've never seen (or experienced) a golf cart driver run a bicyclist off the path. I have seen the suggestion that bikes *should* run the golf carts off the path in a recent thread.

We're still talking about the MMP, right? Bikes *should* ride towards the right edge of their MMP lane. But, since each of the lanes in the MMP are fairly narrow, "towards the right edge" is pretty much in the middle of the lane. In any case, just as on the roads, vehicles (golf carts) should move to the opposite lane to pass a bicycle when safe to do so. I doubt if it is physically possible for a golf cart and a bicycle to fit side by side in a single line of the MMP.

Moving to the other lane of the MMP (and the road) is what I've done every time I've needed to pass a bicyclist, is what I've experienced when I was on a bicycle, and is what I've seen others do. No doubt there are some drivers out there who do stupid things when passing bicyclists but I've not encountered one yet.

Fortunately, the more enlightened areas of The Villages have beautiful walking/biking trails where golf carts are absolutely forbidden. These trails go on for miles and they are building more of them.

I would assume that they complain because they are worried about risking their "life and limbs". If there were more "no golf carts" around, maybe they would complain less.
