I ride with the bike club occasionally on the roads and feel safe on these excursions. When alone I tend to stay on the MM paths. I do take the lane on occasion to ensure my safety. I do this when I am riding around blind curves and also coming to gates. I found if I rode to the far right in these situations some carts would attempt to pass me even though they couldn't see around the curve or had time to pass me before a gate. Taking the lane by riding in the center of the right lane blocked golf carts from passing me in these unsafe situations. All the rest of the time I ride to the far right so carts can easily pass me. I also slow down when the path divides into separate lanes so a cart can get ahead of me as I don't move over once in these narrow lanes. I move at a fast pace of 16 to 25 mph. I have no problems with cart drivers when I follow this program. When it is safe I always let the carts pass me if they want to and are going fast enough to get by me safely.

Good common sense. Most bikers and cart drivers appreciate your sharing of the lane. I find the more room I give a cart, the more room they give me when they pass. It's about sharing, not in your face owning.

Reminder....topic is striping of Villages multimodal paths. Please stay on topic and do not post personal comments directed at other members.

The consistency we have enjoyed these many years is now a neighborhood by neighborhood decision?

It was nice while it lasted these many, MANY years!

I believe the pro-striping folks are being telepathically manipulated by aliens who want to use the paths as runways for their space craft and so does that Chicken fellow.

Thank-you
I replied to Bullit's post which was #3 by copying Village Chickens response which was #4. It seemed like the groundhog thing to do at the time. We're up to #435.

Oh no. Not another couple hundred posts about how bicycle riders are the new abused minority.

After we get done with the bikers, we can discuss regulating the size of tires and the color of windshields.

Those topics will at least be somewhat refreshing.
