This is from a regularly scheduled Everglades Bike Club weekend ride in Key Biscayne, USA, on a 10km stretch of road, and all the drivers know to expect it will be there in the mornings.

    motorbike obviously not built for it

    You don’t need a purpose-built vehicle to drive on some grass, though the mini’s open diff honestly surprised me he didn’t have difficulty when there was 1 wheel on the pavement and 1 wheel on grass. Clearly the suspension is soft enough/has enough travel the designers considered the possibility that the car might not be on good roads.

    My bike isn’t a dirtbike, but has adv tires instead of streets because of how frequently I have to ride offroad or on gravel roads or w/e.

    honking repeatedly

    Its usually a quick beep to let the person I am passing know where I am, I got hit when I didn’t do that last year and someone in the righthand lane decided to take an exit on the left as I was passing.

    You know what happens if you swerve into the side of a car

    Yes, at the speeds involved you get a small dent, maybe some scratched paint.

    Where I live this is reckless endangerment

    Who was in danger? The people 15 feet away from the car?

    There are reasons I would never move to Florida.

    I would never move back, but there are some things I miss.
