it's not a bad thing to do, in fact, the most safe, imo. standard operating procedure

So, back to ambiance chasing.

So, few incidents out of thousands encounters.

If it's bigger than you pull over and let the carts pass. Personally I think cyclists should NOT be allowed on the road or golf carts paths. Hey go to Ocala where there is alot of bike paths

The biggest problem i see is everyone seems to be in such a big rush is everyone afraid of missing happy hour

That's pretty much true for the public in general...

Or bike with care... Or walk with care...

But funny thing... In the year I've been here, I've had exactly ZERO problems on the MMPs, other than the lady who was exiting the MMP in her Prius onto Pinellas...

But that's a car problem...

Great... Now we have a North vs South contest going...

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

Oh, yes it is! DISEASE! PESTILENCE! Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!

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.

Please... Just stop it with your "common sense and logic"...

It has no place on these "entitlement" treads...

Enlighten me as to how the above is not on the top of the list of the stupidest ever TOTV posts?

Well, since this is a golf cart community, that's not gonna' happen...
