Most ear bud are not "noise cancelling". Unless their music/podcast/etc is cranked to death metal levels, they'll hear you...

Oh, wait... This is TV... They might not hear you even without the ear buds... :icon_wink:

The problem is that there is no clear direction provided for bicyclists. They should either make bicyclists ride on the streets or on the MMP's but not both.
Guess what? We can do both. Get used to it...or move.

Just because something is bigger doesn't give you ROW. Calm down...where are you going that requires a rush? Seriously???!!! Relax! If you need to get there so fast, drive a car. 😁

It would be helpful if bicycle riders had the courtesy to slide over over to the right when carts are behind them or ride on the street where there is far more room.

So true , they don’t stop at STOP signs, they don’t stop at traffic lights , or say stoped they run red lights, they run with traffic, I really don’t understand that rule, when I walk I face traffic, why don’t they??

The second largest group of whiners in the Villages are cyclists. They break every traffic law the whine when they have a close encounter with a car or cart.
Who’s the first?

My wife and I are longtime runners. We love to ride our mountain bikes as much as possible, instead of using our car or golf cart. Keeps us fit.

The rule has always been, walkers and runners face the traffic, bikes go with the traffic.
Some people here telling bikes to use the road instead the MMP is asinine.
Wtf do they think MM stands for?

When we did our lifestyle visit in Jan I ran on the mmp every morming near Brownwood. Everyone I encountered was courtious and many waved. It just takes a few self entitled douche bags to ruin the fun.

We just bought our home there to snowbird. Hopefully we can enjoy our bikes when we're there. Thankfully, we always have the Santos trailhead bike park not far way. We only have to worry about other bikes and hikers there. lol

Last week somebody posted that the bicycle clubs were advising their members to ride in the middle of the MMP's to stop carts from passing them. Has this been confirmed ?

If this is true, I'm not sure what their reasoning is. I can see doing that going thru a split lane since they can be tight for a cart and a bike. But normally I don't see why you would need to do that. Or I'm missing something.
