Couldn't disagree more.
I've been riding in TV for 5 years and feel much safer on the MMP. I have a certain set of personal rules that I strictly abide by and I feel safe on the MMP. And most importantly...I feel almost 100% in control of my safety, unlike on the street where I'm at the mercy of every vehicle driving by me at much higher speeds.
For the record, I think you can make a case for streets being safe for group bike riders who know how to ride properly in a group. But imho, the MMP is much safer for an individual rider who takes certain precautions.
